Book Reviews of Book Design (abrams studio)Book Review: Great book Summary: 4 StarsAll you need to know when designing a book can be found in this one!
Higly recomended!!! A lot of theory. A lot of visual examples.
Book Review: Really Disappointed Summary: 1 StarsI was looking for an instructional book, and don't know what this book is about.
Book Review: Book Design Summary: 4 StarsAlthough more for professional designers then I expected, I learned what I needed from this thorough book. I wanted enough information to lay out and understand design of my own books and found clear details and principles. However, this book has complete data for readers seeking far more than I was. A valuable future reference, I think.

Book Review: Best technical book on any subject I've seen for a while Summary: 5 StarsWhen I opened this book and saw how slick and enticing it was, I was afraid that it might be just about the graphics side of book design. I wanted a technical book that provided a thorough coverage of the subject. I was not disappointed, however. This book gives a great treatment with clear, beautiful drawings that cover every subject from the aesthetics of page layout to mechanics of printing.
If you want to really understand book design then I highly recommend this wonderful book. Every page is delightful and yet full of important information.
Book Review: Ideal! Summary: 5 StarsWhile there are many, many design books and references available that contain most of the information in this book, this is the first time I've found such a good synthesis of content in one place. The order and organization of the book is extremely well thought out and logical, and the writing is excellent. I'm so happy to have found this book-- as a designer it's a wonderful reference, reinforcement, and source for learning. Definitely recommended.
