This is a really interesting reference book for any print designer to get inspiration from. As a print designer you would be familiar with many of the techniques but it is interesting to see variations of what you know and see them used on a myriad of different projects. There are several examples which I have not seen before with binding/finishes which I hope to use one day. It shows contempory work rather than lots of books which drag out old projects which as an avid book buyer I'v seen loads of times before.
The index lists stock and materials used for each project which is very good.
My only complains are that the pictures are not overly big. As some of the detail is small it would be nicer to have images larger (I sound like a client eh?)... perhaps multiple images of some jobs. Also, it would have been very interesting to have web addresses provided in the index to see further work by some of the excellent companies featured.
All in all, if you love print/finishes/unusual finishes then you will LOVE this book
