The Big Book
of
New Design Ideas
edited by David Carter



It's to be expected, I suppose, that books about graphic arts should invariably be among the most attractive that are published each year. It's always entertaining and interesting to peruse the titles that document prize-winning or avant garde designs. This compilation includes entries for an unexpectedly wide-range of advertising genres:

Advertising
Annual Reports
Book Jackets
Calendars
Catalogs and Brochures
Corporate ID/Logos
Editorial Design
Environmental/Signage
Exhibits and Trade Shows
Illustration
Labels and Tags
Letterhead Sets
Menus
Music CDs
Outdoor
Packaging
Posters
Promotions
Retail Graphics
Shopping Bags
T-Shirts
Web Pages

Encyclopedia of Wood
edited by
Aidan Walker



Though a great resource for Wood Tech students, this book will appeal to anyone who appreciates the beauty of fine wood. The editor devotes a single page to each of the world's 150 most-prized timbers. A rich, full-color photograph detailing a wood's burnished grain completely encompasses the top 40% of every page; beneath that one finds short descriptions of the growth, appearance, properties, and uses of the wood followed by ratings for its impact resistance, stiffness, density, workability, bending strength, and crushing strength.
