Writing an in-depth review seems like it would be doing it an injustice because part of the fun of any Sagmeister book is opening the packaging and seeing the clever ways in which he presents the content. But then; Sagmeister wouldnt be who he is if he didnt brilliantly present the messages he wants you to take away. If you love his work; get this book. It will not disappoint you. If you are a student interested in his work; get this book. The information is easy to digest; and youll appreciate all the care and planning that went into creating this beautiful volume of work.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. 10 STARSBy MartinWhat I enjoyed about this book was the fact that its not a coffee book.
