Title: if you are over 40 don't buy this book
Product review: I've had this book since close to the time it was originally published in 2001, but had never read it. Now I'm embarking on a project for which I need this type of information, so I dug the book out of its box and attempted to read it. Then I realized why I'd never gotten past the first few pages. The type of the main text throughout the book is extremely small, maybe 7 point! What is the purpose of that? It's not that the book was so crammed full of information that she couldn't fit in larger type; she must have thought it was really cute to use the tiny type with three blank lines between each typed line to achieve that all that all-important white space!Ms. Goodman could stand to learn an 8th design element: i.e., make the design user friendly. I forced myself to read through the book, skipping over a lot because of eyestrain, but now that I've finished, it's going directly to a used book store.
