Most Helpful Review
"It is just over 200 pages, each containing nine designs. The book is categorized into types of design (i.e. the octagram and eight-pointed star, the triangle and its combinations, ringed interlacement etc.). The designs are presented in small (ca.3x3cm) squares, black and white, so nothing is squandered in this neat little book. It is very handy and easy to take along wherever you go, and wonderful to get ideas from wherever you may be (with a mind needing a geometric struggle, riddle, or to play with form). I often use it when I go out for a café, and scribble all kinds of designs while sipping my coffee. The book really stimulates the mind, geometrically. And the black/white neat presentation makes it just right. In fact, it is perfect for the purpose of taking along to really *use* and work through, - while you keep all those shiny, glossy grand reference books at home on the bookshelf."

I've had this book for over 15 years and bought several more for my creative friends. Everybody gives 5 stars or more with this book. One of the best to kick start creativity, this book is a 10 star keeper. A collection of 1836 basic designs and their variations by some of the most talented industrial and graphic designers which was compiled & first published in 1932, another testimony to Dover publications - the best. This book is a must for any creative person.What Customers Talk About
