Summary: Pretentious Waste of Paper
Comment: ...If you want inspiration get DesignAgent or SoakWaskRinseSpin. I'm not sure what these guys were thinking. It has twelve pages of code, about 30 pages of one word written in different colors. There is hardly any real design. Just a waste of paper. It's not even artsy in a good way. Sorry to be so harsh. But it's not even a good coffee table book.

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Comment: I ordered this book and promptly returned it. Normally, I am a fan of Cahan's work, but this was nothing like the clean, intuitive style I have grown accustomed to seeing from his office. And, that is not to say change is not good. It just so happens, this one isn't.

Summary: Between Flesh and Spirit
Comment: Pure genius. This design house's work transcends the merely informative...It approaches high art. The most stunning examples are the works for bio-tech firms which bring out the "soul" of these very esoteric groups by relating the scientific with the human, the pain with the patient, the successes with the tribulations...often on a single page with only a word and a picture or two
An ability to lock in a word with an image into a tight presentation makes their design a high form of conceptual art (with feeling, mind you) rivaling that of any "fine" artist/group from Bruce Nauman to the Situationalists.
If you want to see what "mere" graphic design can achieve, get this book before you buy yet another one about the "new typographers".
