If you're a product designer, and are looking for an inspirational book on cool concept sketches, this book is exactly what you're hoping it will be, chock full of the slick kind of sketches we all like to do.
What this book is NOT, is a step by step guide on creating them, it's more a source book for people who can already sketch like this, and in that, it does the job very well.

I am an Industrial Design student who bought this book upon recommendation by a lecturer. This book will be a cause of envy and a fantastic source of inspiration throughout my degree (and most likely into my career).
If you're a design student looking to improve your design communication you can't go far wrong with this book. However, don't expect step-by-step tutorials as this book is more a treasure trove of inspiration and an opportunity to observe some great sketching and presentation techniques.

This is a great book. 250 full colour glossy pages of great sketching. Some explanations of how to create fantastic renderings. I have been a proffesional product designer for over 15 years and i feel inspired to raise my game after getting this book. It should be essential reading for any dersign student. A bit pricey at £30, but i found it excellent value for money.
