Contains many excellent examples of a wide variety of work; lots of great design solutions. I find myself repeatedly going back to look at a number of pieces more closely.

I only have two nitpicky complaints:

1. There's no need to sell this as a $50 hardcover. Rockport should've just gone with the paperback and kept the cost around $35.

2. Someone didn't do a great job proofreading the copy. Case in point, they misspelled "college" twice (spelling it "collage"). The fact that this example happened to be my alma mater, the Corcoran College of Art + Design didn't help.

Eye candy for designers! Some of the wedding invitations made me want to get married again (to my same husband, of course).
