Reviews
I love this book because as I 'journey' through it's pages it becomes a living testimant to what he is teaching. He plays with the layout of the text in a playful yet informative and engaging way.Another thing is his obvious preference for 'teach by example'. Instead of trying to force the reader to wade through miles of bla, bla text he drops that approach entirely. Instead, the reader is granted endless exposure to examples and graphics.Also, I'm impressed by the way he's formulated his literature. Even though the book is about the visual side of life he's able to bring the information alive in constantly conjuring up visuals as one reads through the book.Overall, very informative and educational in a fun engaging sort of way. Nicely done!
