"The Design Handbook is a trendy, concise, colourful and generously illustrated design guide. It is exceedingly user-friendly and provides good summaries of major movements, materials, institutions and other design topics in a convenient alphabetical order. As a short introduction to the topic, it is excellent and it fulfils the key criterion of a good handbook-it is very, very handy. Recommended for the serious student of the interested amateur."
