What are your opinions on these books:

They seem to be well regarded.I've never read them, because I find the cover design to be very unattractive. Sorry to say it, but I hardly ever pick up a book with a cover I don't find attractive. Once it's in my hand though, I base my decision on what's inside...
What about you guys?

i have all the collection...i find myself using the color index most.
the other books are pretty good as well, whenever i'm stuck or need an idea regarding placement or layout, or what kind of type style i should use to convey a particular feeling, i'll open up the other books.
i recommend. they will help you think about your designs more.

Buy the set in the cute little clear lunchbox.
Use the box to keep your condoms in.
Throw the books away.

(Jun 16 07, 08:18)I refuse to behave like you, but I must say I never picked those either: not because the cover is ugly, but because, inside, there is nothing to read.

you shouldn't judge a cook by his brother ... no wait ... what was the question again?

don't be an ass Witt. I refuse to be like you and selectively quote someone, distorting the meaning of their original post.
If a book is not recommended, and does not appeal to you visually, why would you give it a 2nd look on a shelf full/storefull of books?

(Jun 16 07, 17:54)because of who wrote published it.
as per these books, i have heard some good things. they are small and are a convenient reference. but i have opened them up at BN and wasn't impressed.

You seem to have a point. It needs to look good.
Don't buy it.
