The kinds of questions young designers most often need answers to are the practical things—how to find work, what to charge, what the first step is interpreting a brief, and how to work it out when with a job or a client relationship goes wrong. Shaughnessy, the co- founder of a London design firm as well as a design writer, provides a guide that tells all. He includes interviews with 10 big-name designers who talk about how they got going. The edition is (of course) beautiful to look at and offers a nice appendix of print and online resources, but it lacks an index. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
