Summary: Tomato did this??
Review: After seeing the rave reviews on this book, I decided to order it. As a designer, I was extremely disappointed, there was not a shred of anything in this book that I found useful. If you're looking for ideas and inspiration, I wouldn't recommend this one, if you want coffee table clutter, go for it.

Summary: borrow from the library
Review: As a student I'm interested in books that will both inspire and inform. There is nothing to inform in this book but like other reviewers have said it's more to browse for pleasure if you're into more 'fine-arty' - type books. and perhaps inspire. Don't be fooled just because it's by Tomato. Borrow it from the library unless you are really into arty, abstract stuff.

Summary: Excellent Experimental Typography
Review: Don't try to read it in a minute. Spend lots of time forgeting yourself in the layers. Ultimately for designers and typographers

Summary: Tomato did this??
Review: I came across this book while on vacation in Taiwan. I rarely buy design books since they are usually very pricy. The use of high-contrast imagery combined with beautiful typefaces such as Clarendon make for a wonderful combination. Like much of Tomato's other books, "Bareback" and "Process," there is very little informative text in regards to what those lads in Tomato are thinking as they do their stuff. Instead, concepts and hidden messages dive in and out of pages of pure black and white. The forms are strange yet familiar. You feel that the forms from the typography are recognizible, but turning to the next page, you are hit with a completely new set of surroundings. I am happy that this book has seen more than two printings. There are a lot of wonderful design books out now with great use of inks and paper, but is nice to see something like this book still out and around on bookshelves to equally amaze readers.

Summary: Interested in skyscrapers...?
Review: If you're interested in this book because you want to expand your skyscraper library, just leave this book wherever you find it. It's a sketch book, and I don't find the sketches interesting, insightfull or exciting in any way.

Summary: huhhh...this sucks....
Review: in today's age, where man is distant from nature. where man is away from his essential self, this book is more than a mere piece of decoration on your coffe table. It's about more than simply a false welcome mat on your door. It's a prime example of visual literature that takes one on a jorney towards the senses and experiences. please, i only spent a couple of days with book and it changed some aspects in the way I look design. "I look design", cool, huh?

Summary: A wonderfull experiment
Review: My first impresion of this book was very very bad. I thought to myself that there is no use for such a book and that it is an ugly, cheap looking and unattractive waste of paper and dollars. But after spending some time with this book and diving in to the layouts i realized that i was mistaken. There is indid something in this eperiment that is very interesting and good, and it has the distinct imprint of a personal work that to me is fascinating. good work!

Summary: Dynamic experience
Review: This document speaks and shouts volumes. I don't believe that this book will be for everyone, but the designer who is more of an artist, who attempts at perceiving and articulating the world in personal, informative ways.. this is for you. Ok.. the book is a little dated now, but if you want to be inspired to get back to your roots of cutting and pasting, this book will inspire. This is all about taking the environment we live in, and creating dynamic visual experiences that intensify and define that space.. it's really quite brilliant where this came from.. and where they have gone (tomato) speaks volumes about the power of this approach to design.
