| 3. |  | Making and Breaking the Grid: A Graphic Design Layout Workshop from Rockport Publishers Customer Review: Wow. This is a visual treat. Your are introduced to "the grid" in graphic design and then simultaneously are shown lots of examples that violate the grid principle. The strength of this book is the examples, because you are given multiple pages for each design, which allows you to sense the... |

| 4. |  | The Elements of Graphic Design: Space, Unity, Page Architecture, and Type from Allworth Press Price: $16.47 Customer Review: I picked up this book from my local bookstore. From reading it, my assessment is that it's a somewhat mature look into the basics of graphic design. Alex draws upon several analogies, some of nature and people, and others of architecture, to explain broad aspects of design, particularly with respect... |

| 5. | [no image] | Designing with Type from Watson-Guptill Publications Inc.,U.S. Customer Review: James Craig's book "Designing with Type" and companion website proved to be a valuable resource to me this past semester. I have been developing a sequence of graphic design classes moving from "Intro" through "4" level. "Designing with Type" helped me structure the "GD 1" level around typography in... |

| 6. |  | Layout Index: Brochure, Web Design, Poster, Flyer, Advertising, Page Layout, Newsletter, Stationery Index from North Light Books Price: $15.63 Customer Review:  This book can give some ideas on layouts, but the designs on it are very dated. So if you want to take anything good from the book you have to focus more on estructure, and how information is organized on the layout, rather then on the overall design. It's a good book for starters but I prefer... |

| 8. |  | The Newspaper Designer's Handbook from McGraw-Hill Companies Customer Review: I have taken this book apart and used it in the classroom. I bought it used and didn't receive a CD-ROM with it. My students are able to glean many ideas from it for our school newspaper. |

| 9. |  | Hand Bookbinding: A Manual of Instruction from Dover Publications Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I have purchased 6 books and 2 cd sets to get started in hand binding. This book by far will get you going with simple, straight forward instruction. |

| 10. |  | Idea Index: Graphic Effects and Typographic Treatments from North Light Books Price: $15.63 Customer Review: This is a great book when you need ideas for a project but just don't have anything or are burnt out. This helps with graphics and text. Sitting down with a hot/cold beverage and relaxing with this book is a great idea. The page layouts and continuous colors used are nicely done and show how each... |

| 11. |  | Basics of Design: Layout and Typography for Beginners from Delmar Cengage Learning Price: $37.14 Customer Review: The book is "designed" for beginners. It is great for brainstorming about - say - crafting a corporate identity using logos, newsletters, business cards, etc. However it is dated. Few pages are in color. The author doesn't assume the reader has access to industry-standard design software like the... |

| 12. |  | The Craft of Bookbinding from Dover Publications Price: $8.76 Customer Review: Many of the methods Banister uses in this book are finicky and overcomplicated, but they get the job done nonetheless. His instructions may be difficult for some to follow, but there are tons of great photographs. I also love that Banister gives instructions for how to build several presses yourself... |

| 13. |  | Stop Stealing Sheep & Find Out How Type Works from Adobe Pr Customer Review: I am very satisified with the quality of the game that I received. They were very fast with a turn-around as far as shipping was concerned. When I emailed them to ask about the status of the shippment, I got a very fast response that same day. Plus, a follow-up email the day the actual item had... |

| 14. |  | The Mac is Not a Typewriter: A Style Manual for Creating Professional-Level Type on Your Macintosh from Pearson Education Customer Review: I have had a copy of this book for about 10 years and it is a great resource for clear and concise layout guidelines. Last week, I took a look at my son's yearbook committee drafts. Yikes! I just got a copy for them! |

| 15. |  | Getting It Printed from North Light Books Customer Review:  I am a student and I'm currently almost done with my Master's degree in Publishing. This was a required book for one of my classes and I was incredibly disappointed with it. The design and layout (along with the font choice) make it physically hard to read more than a page or two at a time. The... |

| 16. |  | Cover to Cover: Creative Techniques for Making Beautiful Books, Journals & Albums from Lark Books Customer Review: I still haven't received this book yet. I've tried to contact the seller on two occasions and haven't received a reply yet. I will keep it on my not to buy from list. |

| 17. | [no image] | Printing Revolution Early Modern Europe from Cambridge University Press Customer Review: Eisenstein, in the absence of literature on the consequences of the fifteenth-century shift from script to print, sees her work as a preliminary effort. She presents the advent of print, which triggered a communication revolution, in two parts. The first discusses the main features of the... |

| 19. |  | The Non-Designer's Type Book from Peachpit Press Price: $18.99 Customer Review: I have to begin by saying that I have absolutely no experience in design or artwork. I have taken on a project (not exactly voluntarily) which I would prefer doesn't look completely amateurish by the time I finish. I got this book to give me some sort of reference in something I know I'm way over my... |
