"how to be a designer without selling your soul"
A Shaugnessy (or something)
love the typography on it (refreshing to see a text/info heavy book doing something a bit daring)
its cool easy read loooads of handy tips all about the side of design tht isnt glamourised (ie billing, clients, starting up a studio etc)
(not the kinda book if ur after contract templates, procedures etc)
*oooh bit of a rant
