Loved it at first glance. Searched desertcart app (with bar code scan within a second, easy to use!) and found a (much) better price, (with the famous free prime 1 day shipping as always) This book is easy to read, provides high quality photos and visualizations of great design in human history, the content is collected in a smart and professional way, not those book that are poorly made and rush to be published (for profit) under a big brand name. This book is great to open to any random page, and read at any sequence you like, read for any period of time, at any occasion, anywhere at home or in office (before covid). This book is full of inspirational designs in the past hundred year of human (technology) history. This is the reason I fall in love with it. After 1 year owning the book (and almost enjoyed all its contents), now I am back for more, more of books in this kind, I would say a light visual encyclopedia, or heavy magazine taste of collection-of-visual book. Perfect as a gift, a home warming gift a gift bringing to a party, or even a gift to a smart and curious 10 year old ----- Oh I so would longing some one give this book to me when I was a curious kid at 10 years old, I could be influenced and grow to be a different man if that were true. Review: excellent - It is suitable for ages 8 years and up. The illustrations are beautiful ! It is a well made and heavy book. highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #58,209 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #19 in Design History & Criticism #33 in Architectural History #3,552 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 480 Reviews | ## Images ![Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614OO33Y5TL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ inspiration at any flip of page, garanteed. *by C***R on February 15, 2022* Saw this book at my local book store.
