Product Description

Review

''With its playful tone but enough of the more clever facts, Visual Aid is capable of entertaining a wide audience.'' --Varoom

''This simple little reference presents ''a lot'' of random facts in less than 200 pages with a cleverness and colourful style that s well worth emulating.'' --Cool Tools [www.kk.org/cooltools]

''Flicking through it I learnt some useful things about hats, poker hands, planets and the relative size of fictional spaceships. It's broad enough for kids but smart enough for adults. Useful as a last-minute present for the design-conscious or the hard to please.'' --I Like [www.ilike.org.uk]


Product Description

Visual Aid provides the answers to the little questions in life in a simple colourful and engaging way. Included are: colour wheels, universal flags, star constellations, correct tablesettings, how reflexology works, the Italian wine regions, how to tie a knot, how to use chopsticks, sign language, morse code and many more. This eclectic collection of illustrations and diagrams will get you up to speed on life's basics, without the need for extensive reading or even your utmost attention. In a small, handy format this accessible guide is perfect for anyone with an interest in visual stimuli or a thirst for general knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great purchase, 25 Sep 2008
By Mr. R. Sodha "R Sodha" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an intriguing little book which is both well made and printed. It is extremely cheap and great value for what you get and I recommend it to all designers as it's a nice little thing to have. From a technical stand point, whilst there is written text, the book uses it sparingly and lives up to its name of "Visual Aid" through strong and powerful visual language.

From a readers perspective, there are enough clever facts in there to appeal to a wide audience and brings some nostalgia for things you have once learned. The illustrations are very clear and helpful and overall a nice addition to have to your book collection

Beautifully designed, edited and packaged. A little bit of a classic.
