Awwwww...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of the Best of Brochure Design (Hardcover)
This book's content ranges from fair design to absolutely abominable. I'm eighteen and I run circles around most of the designers featured in this book... that's not a good sign. The best design in this book is actually the cover, which can be very decieving... most of the content is flatly uncreative, with all the dullness of a dentist's waiting room. It is, however a good example of what not to do in brochure design: noted mistakes include sloppy collaging (not intentionally sloppy), terrible visual appeal, and the work of designers who went filter-happy in Photoshop (the Emboss filter, no less.) Please avoid this book. Amateurs might enjoy it, but for God's sake, don't emulate the work in it. I realize how arrogant this review may be, but it's hard not to feel that way when your own work puts thiers to shame.

Very bad resource book! Bad as in terrible...,

This review is from: The Best of the Best of Brochure Design (Hardcover)
I'm a design professional and rely on books as resources for insight to the work being produced out there. But when I got this book and opened it, I could hardly find a page or spread that had anything decent on it. This book reminds me of some of the resource books I used in college 8+ years ago. This book's content is very poor quality and very dated material. It's the only book I've ever purchased online and been highly dissappointed about its content. I'd trade this book for a yo-yo at this point. Trust me, DO NOT purchase this book.

Got to agree with the others...,
By B. T. Denyer "Web designer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Best of the Best of Brochure Design (Paperback)
This book is lacking in every way. It may have been amazing in 2002 or 2004 when it was put out, but it is now only good for a class in what NOT to do. Most of the images are pretty boring and tame. I felt that a lot of the images were so obvious and expected - stuff you see everyday. Rockport's 1,000 Graphic Elements: Details for Distinctive Designs was much better. At least it had some inspiring images and cutting-edge work. More 3-D stuff, too.Skip this book and check out 1,000 Graphic Elements: Details for Distinctive Designs; it's better. 31 of 51 people found the following review helpful
