A great addition to any designer's library!
Always good to get a library of useful books for your interests. Having a design degree, this helps to add insights about how other products were designed with the user in mind and scale. Lots of good information.

Incredible tool for industrial design professionals
I've worked as an industrial designer for almost 4 years now and have been looking for a book like this to support me in my daily work. This is a wonderful handbook, that has everything you need explained in short. Cannot believe it doesn't show up higher on the store search results. A must have for industrial design professionals – highly recommended.

Delivers 100%
Absolutely amazing. Seriously. I'm always skeptical about design books, but I'm going to carry this everywhere. It's small 20x14 cm, easy to stick in a bag. 300 pages of concise, useful information for industrial designers or students, things you should memorize but don't want to. Well bound and looks snappy too.
