Breaking the Rules in Publication Design

Rating:
Summary: Pretty images but no explanation
Review: It is not what I expected. The book starts with a two page introduction where the author expose his point of view on how publication design is constantly changing. Then another brief paragraph to introduce us to every topic and on the next pages there's nothing but images with samples with no explanation of the purpose of the publication, or how the creative director solved the problem. The book doesn't give you any insight of the projects displayed in it. In other words, the book is nothing but pretty images with no explanation (other than the creative group and the page number). I was really disappointed because I have seen better publications from Supon Group like "Breaking the Rules in Graphic Design", but "Breaking the Rules in Publication Desing" is really bad.
