 Excellent source! June 20, 2008

I had read several places that this was a classic. That doesn't mean anything in my book, but I must say that it indeed has been a source of inspiration and useful in my work.
 Excellent detailed book. Absolutely satisfied. February 23, 2008
In my opinion this is the best book about grids. It intoduces into history, gives some typographic base knowledge, detailed information about grids, layouts and composiotion. This book would be interesting for experienced graphic designers as well as for newbies. I highly recommend this book. Thanks.

you will not regret buying this book. a must have book for any designer of any discipline (web, print, media, etc). the downside is that there's a lot of reading to do. so hunker down and expect to fall asleep a few times during the readings, but it's definitely worth knowing how the system works from the master of the grid.

why is this thing so expensive and so difficult to find
amazon is by far the cheapest place to get it, but it took atleast a month to get to me
 That's what all the fuss is about? March 6, 2007

Grids are pretty simple. It was an expensive book and when I buy a book I buy it so it can be a reference to me in the future. I was hoping Grid Systems in Graphic Design would have some mathematic principals or scientific rules for alignment. It showed a lot of examples, which I didn't find that helpful, and the designs were old looking and hard to relate to more advanced methods. Half of the book felt unnecessary and I wish i had paid less than half.
