Review title: Tremendously valuable as a reference for document design.
Product review: I read selected portions of Karen Schriver's book on document design. This is an excellent resource for those needing confirmation of design decisions or for those wanting guidance. I paid particular attention to the examples and the reviews of the impact of design and text choices. Some may be put off by parts of the book that are very academic; however, this is overshadowed by the practical information for "communications architects" (a phrase Ms. Schriver has coined to describe those of us who are both writers and designers of documents).
