Designers' Stationery: How Designers and Design Companies Present Themselves to the World

Rating:
Summary: A different perspective to books on stationery.
Review: As a designer that purchases more design books than what he needs (or has time to read), it is suffice to say that I have purchased many books on letterheads, business cards, etc. In these books, you see how design companies created letterheads and business cards for their clients.

And there are good books out there but have you ever wondered what the letterheads and business cards for design agencies/firms look like?

What "Designers' Stationery: How designers and design companies present themselves to the world" does is just that.

When I first saw this book, I just had to purchase it because there is nothing like it out in the market. Every book is again about the designer's clients and this book shows you the innovative letterheads, envelopes and business cards created by these companies.

I would have given this a five star rating but one thing that I didn't see that is important to me when buying books on stationary is the paper stock these design companies used to print their stationery on. Sure, it's nice to see special features listed but for most books on stationery, it's useful and nice to know the paperstock used.

If you don't mind spending [money] to checking out how international design companies putting some flare into their stationery, check this book out. You really see some innovative ways they are able to attract attention. It might even make you want to redo your own stationery. Check it out!
