A friend gave this book to me and it’s a real treasure, an amazing insight into the mind and practices of a bone-fide design legend.
Funny, Alan, my copy was a gift from my friend Wally. Makes a great gift! More morsels coming soon…
This is one of my favorite books, truly inspiring designer. There is also another gem of his called “Sea as a craftsman”.
