    GORGEOUS BOOK! I'm not going to lie so I'll admit that I bought this book mainly for aesthetic purposes. It matches the color scheme of my desk and the thickness was perfect to be used under my monitor. If you're looking for a beautiful coffee table book this is perfect. I did flip through the pages and the photos are great and the book is made out of quality material. Well worth the price!

    Fantastic. Bought as a Christmas present for my better half. You can while away hours just dipping into this book which contains some fantastic photographs. I particularly like that the the subject of the photograph is not always directly linked with the article on each page. There are portraits of some designers, but they are mixed with articles being modelled, other designs, etc. Good value and the reason that a well produced book still enthrals in the digital age.

    Ich war erst begeistert, das Buch so günstig erstanden zu haben, da der Originalpreis deutlich höher liegt. Das Buch sollte ein Geschenk sein, doch leider wies es extreme Gebrauchtspuren auf.
