I have yet to find a bookstore here that sells a wide range of Graphic Design books in English and so i'm forced to order them online.
Majority of my orders are books filled with colourful inspiration and I Wish I Had Thought of That solutions. Many times i will browse through them only when i start a new project and/or when i am lacking a coherent concept.
I am often indecisive as to which book to buy since there really are so many out there. But majority of the time i will decide based on price and whether the content amount is actually worth the said amount.
Although that said, i can also be easily persuaded, especially if it comes recommended and has positive reviews.
For example, there's Nubby, a blogger and graphic designer that never fails to inspire me and has a great sense of style wrote; 8 Design Books That I Love : A list of personal favorites.
Here is her #3 choice;
I found the title rather amusing.
I was also intrigued after i read a few pages on Amazon and had scrolled through the numerous reviews.
17.50 Euro
So i was quick to order myself a copy.
Why?
Because i'm a sucker for good deals and am in desperate need of a bigger push especially since i'm working independently and trying to run a business.
A depleting bank account is, by no means, comforting and neither is not knowing when or even whether a new project will come in.

HOW TO BE A GRAPHIC DESIGNER WITHOUT LOSING YOUR SOUL
By Adrian Shaughnessy
It is brimming with practical, common sense advice that every beginning designer should know. I love the introduction: “Designers are quick to tell us about their sources of inspiration, but they are much less willing to reveal such critical matters as how to find work, what to charge, and what to do when a client rejects three weeks of work and refuses to pay the bill.” This book answers all those nagging questions designers have when starting out but don’t know who to ask. Written in a very straight-forward manner by a designer for designers, this is a must-read for design students.
