Reviews

Students find this book very informative and easy to use. Most of all, they like samples of tech packs with how to measure information.
*Tania Pazelsky, Wood Tobe-Coburn School, USA*

This is a highly effective book. It is so straightforward and useful to students in understanding how technical design fits into the product development pipeline. It would be a great resource on the job
*Carol Salusso, Washington State University, USA*

Overall, [Technical Sourcebook for Designers] is more than I can ask for in one book. This book makes me want to take an entirely different approach to the way I teach this class.
