5.0 out of 5 stars All graphic designers should read this., 30 Jan 2006
By P. Robertson (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The content in this book should be gospel for all graphic designers. Until I saw this book I never knew what was right and what was wrong about layout and typography. Now I do.

If you know nothing about grid systems then reading this book will change the way you look at everything. For weeks I walked around affected by this book and applying it's rules to everything I saw - I know so many others who have found it an inspiration do so as well.

This book is not easy to come by. So find one - or find one of the many it's based on and study it hard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential graphic design manual, 22 Mar 2003
By A Customer
Grids, the most important and yet most invisible part of a graphic design.

This book is a very seriously constructed collection of very functional and pragmatical grids (as to expect from this swiss designer), for extense book publishing just as for simple one-page text editing, together with some very interesting comments on the balance of a page, showing the hipersensitivity of the author in visual (and especially typographical) composing.
Must-have for graphic designers, even if you prefer David Carson to classic Swiss Design, there's no denial to the importance of this book.

I must say that it is VERY hard to find, so, if you see a link up there, don't hesitate!
