Negative Positive
Title: A BIG collection of lay-outs
Review: The book is almost what the title says: a Cookbook. It is full of sketched 'recepies' of layouts (most of them mediocre), almost no text, organized in categories.If it really were a Cookbook, you would have some text, explaining a bit more thoroughly what you could do with the idea presented.It's a book you learn very little from - you are expected to apply what is presented. The book laid in a very arid manner, being plainly dull at some points. I did not like it at all.If you're looking for a real Cookbook, get Jim Krause's 'Idea Index'! It not only gives you the ideas, but also has 'suggested serving variations', so you can spice-up the concepts presented.
