Fantastic high level overview of materials and how they pertain to design. Well written and informative. Wonderful binding quality and finish; high gloss and high density paper make this a treat to read. Only three stars due to editing. It's incredible the amount of grammatical and formatting errors that are found throughout. I know it doesn't affect the knowledge within, but if someone is dropping $50 on a book it should feel like the editor was paid for actually doing their job.

Ofrece una colección bastante amplia de materiales categorizados por su método de extracción, y aborda de manera amplia y sencilla las generalidades de las materiales (aplicaciones, derivados, producción, características, origen y costos aproximados etc.) Dependiendo de lo que estés diseñando este libro no te va a dar el 100% de la información que necesitas sobre un objeto pero para mi uso como diseñador principiante y estudiante me ofrece un enorme catálogo de donde puedo investigar más, y me da 3/4 partes de la información relevante para el nivel de justificación que usualmente necesito.

Bello e semplice da consultare. Ottima raccolta di materiali con dedicata spiegazione del loro utilizzo e creazione. Consigliato!

The book is amazing. Well structured and informative. It includes how the Material is produced, what the sustainability issues are, the costs etc. However as a booklover I am disappointed by the delivery. The book was just packed in a bubblewrap in a plastic bag. Usually it should come in a special cardboard for books. So it has crinkles on its cover which is extremely frustrating.
