Summary: Sexy Fun
Comment: These guys do some fantastic work and have produced a wonderful book. They should be commended for the effort and so too should the publisher for taking a chance on such a random topic. The text is well written, and the graphics are well done too (of course . . .) I was thinking about David Burns "True Stories" the whole time I read the book - they both have a simple, refined quirky message to tell, but Hjalti and Jan put so much more of themselves into the end result. This book is a refreshing display of work, from a couple of yet-to-be-jaded designers.

Summary: A graphic design book that doesn't take itself seriously?
Comment: I haven't been able to put this book down all day. I brushed my teeth with it, took a shower with it, spilled my morning coffee on it, almost passed a red light while reading it. "Tellmewhy" captures the true spirit of creativity and the struggles of two people to stay original in a society that endorses "safe" graphic design. I highly recommend this book... oh, and say hi to Hjalti's mom.

Summary: MADE WITH GOOD LITTLE TREES
Comment: At work I often times like to check out what's hot on the graphic design book circuit at Amazon.... This past Monday was no exception.... as I was browsing I came upon karlssonwilker's "tellmywhy" .... I was already a fan of Hjalti Karlsson's work from his hay days with Stefan "el capitan de designo" Sagmeister.... and thought it would be great to read up on how life was after "style=fart" .....I hit the add to cart button.... received the book in the mail 2 days later.... and couldn't put it down till I was done consuming all of its goodness.....
