      The talent of mr fox - Sandro Cesaro

      PREFACE

      No journey begins without a first step, nor does it end without the last one.

      We’ve all gone through it, in some occasion: without a deadline to respect, a last minute or an unsustainable pressure we don’t move from the state of incompleteness.

      I find this to be true, as for many kinds of work, for this book. It has lied for years only partly finished, until the cruel necessity to get something done pushed me to gather, revise, re-write and order the design philosophy material I had accumulated.

      And to think that the project of this book has existed for many years...

      But I didn’t like the form, I didn’t believe in the content all down the line, I feared the judgement of editors and readers...

      To tell the truth I sent a scarcely readable draft to to a couple of editors.

      From one I received no answer, from the other I received an estimate for an edition at my expenses.

      I didn’t carry the idea out, as I knew very well I needed a good work of proofreading and editing to be done.

      So I resorted to make a friend read it, thus involving Giulio Mozzi.

      That kindly read it.

      He advised me to structure the text, to use examples, to simplify the prose. He gave me a chapter template, that I later elaborated.

      When I got to a good point, I lost enthusiasm, The examples grew weak, the good ideas rarefied, the time dedicated to the work scarce.

      I realized I was not the first to write a manual on design (oh, the ego of those who write without having read well before..) and I realized that, actually, I didn’t like the instruction-like style
