No, not by that Robin Williams. Should I include textbooks in this list? A (relatively) fun read. If you're going to make anything design related - whether it be a flyer, business card, website, or a logo, At least read the chapter in this book about that specific topic. Contains lots of good examples of how to create a good design. However, got really repetitive after the first 90 pages (out of 280).
I think this is one of my favorite's out of her series of books. Extremely well thought out and executed. I always look forward to Robin's next book. Keep up the great work!
Robin Williams really knows her stuff. I've used this book time and time again for reference and would not be without it!
I still have a lot to learn. This book helped me assess my knowledge of design. The section on websites in the edition I read could use updating.
Interesting.
One of my all-time favorite design books, although it is getting a little old now. The pictures may look out of date, but the principles are still good. "Don't be a wimp!"

Robin Williams is an incredible writer. She is genuinely humorous and you feel like you are chatting with a friend while reading her work. This is my favorite design book to date.
Nice little book to have on hand.. quick reminders for keeping your designs balanced and compelling.
