Title: Design (Crash Course Series) by Thomas Hauffe ISBN: 0812097726 Publisher: Barrons Educational Series Pub. Date: September, 1996 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $14.95 |

Summary: Great Pocket Companion or Library Quick Reference
Comment: I am an engineer with a love for design and architecture This book itself is well-designed and is printed in a handy 4-3/8" X 7-1/2" size that makes it ideal for carrying in a jacket pocket to read on an airplane or to use as a reference during a museum trip. It's richly illustrated on every page in color and printed on heavy, semi-gloss paper. The 192 pages cover the period 1750 - 1993 but are limited to European and American design. The book was originally published in Germany, and German designers have coverage that is perhaps disproportionate.
The appendices include a useful chronology, an ample bibliography, an index by subject, and an index of the more than 400 names whose work is mentioned in the body of the book. The glossary unfortunately is far too brief.
I have a very large library and prize books like this which can be repeatedly browsed with enjoyment or quickly used for reference. It would also make a nice gift for a young person with an interest in art who does not yet realize that art is all around us in things we use each day.
