Summary: Many points of inspiration
Review: This book isn't meant to be read from cover to cover (it's size is already a source of intimidation), but picked up from time to time, to surprise, to inspire, to entertain, to stimulate. A collection so worth the money!

Summary: Entertaining, thought provoking, brilliant
Review: This book will open your eyes to a world you never knew existed. Superficially it appears to be the Seinfeld of the literary world, that is a book about nothing. The book appears to be a random collection of quotes and anecdotes on seemingly unrelated topics. I like this book because it covers such a diverse range of topics in an interesting manner. You can open up virtually any page in the book and find something amusing, thought provoking or plain bizarre. As an example did you realise that in actuality the world is a very dull place? There is no such thing as colour or sound. These are simply waves with different wavelengths and frequencies. The sensation of light and sound is simply the brain parsing information in a specific way, probably because this model was conducive to survival in primitive times. I must admit a lot of the pages in the book were quite beyond me. I didn't understand why they were there at all and in fact I feel that some of the material should be omitted from the book because it has little value. It also became annoying at times because you have to flip the book sideways and upside down due to its unusual layout (no easy feat with such a hefty tome!). However all in all this book is an excellent read. One of the best books I've read in awhile. Highly recommended if you are interested in exploring the unusual and thinking outside the square.

Summary: tour de force
Review: This is a massive graphical, cultural, philosophical tour de force likes of which I have rarely seen. Extremely strong in graphics, less so in philosophy, but very, very interesting. Reading it is like drinking from a firehose at times: Open it randomly, and you are likely to find something worthwhile, something to think about, something to be inspired by. It also happens to have more good quotes than a typical quote dictionary. A rewarding addition to an eclectic library of a creative individual.

Summary: Extraordinary book
Review: Well, the description is fitting. I'm not a graphic artist but this book really struck my fancy. It's a great coffee table book. One of those books you pick up periodically. The images are interesting, an electic mix of tradtional and pop culture images. A book to own!

Summary: Wow!
Review: When I received this book I looked at the cover and opened it and thought to myself: "What the hell is this?". It appears to have no point - just a collection of random images and text. But when I sat down to take a closer look I realised what an amazing book it is. It's a kind of brain dump of the author - at least a dump of the parts related to art, design and text. It's like a randomised encyclopaedia with pictures. Just dip in anywhere and look and read - it's bound to be interesting. Fascinating thoughts about art and perception, text and writing. I've never owned a book like this before but something makes me think this book will be with me for a long time to come.
