Summary: Beautiful book with a gorgeous slip case designed by Newson
Comment: Very comprehensive book on Newson's work. A must have and a collectible.
Rating: 5
Summary: First catalogue of Newson's work
Comment: As Australia's most influential designer, Marc Newson has come along way from humble beginnings in Sydney. Shy and unassuming, Marc is a creative force at work. As a design addict of Marc's industrial design, the book serves as an almost complete catalogue of his works up to its publication. It opens up a new avenue to track down manufacturers and collect objects and furniture, so in that respect it is a useful reference.
The book, like Marc's work, is slick and enticing. The slip-case is gorgeous, designed by Marc, and the glossy pages beautifully put together.
If, like me, you are a die-hard Newson fan, you will have this book already ... but for all those people who are new to Marc's work and contemplating purchasing this book (having read all the other amazon.com reviews about how it lacks substance) like Wallpaper* magazine it's a beautifully bound publication that just, frankly, looks fantastic.

Summary: Too much CGIs
Comment: I got sick of all the CGIs after the 20 first pages. OK, Newson rocks, he is special and I guess this book pretty much represents his style and the best of his projects, which is good. But a design isn't complete until actually constructed in real life, in my opinion. Anything can be made in a virtual world. And this is the weakness of the book. There are far too many spreads with glossy CGIs. It all becomes a little surreal and hence a little less interesting.
