Pranay G.: I've had the honor of visiting Signor Bruno Munari's museum in Milan and so I know how amazing he was as a designer. It's equally fun to read this book, which has great reflections of his thought process.

Billy C. Plant: I bought this expecting it to discuss layout for print, etc. It talks about the design of products mostly

Mayo Hernández: The book came in perfect shape, nothing more to be desired.
The book was a great read and provided insight into the views of someone who worked with children and has hence developed a simple yet accurate way of seeing what good and conscious design is and behaves.

PM: La edición no es la mejor por el tamaño de la letra y el material usado, que parece que se van a soltar las páginas en algún momento. Pero el libro en sí es muy inspirador, me sirve mucho para adentrarme en el mundo del diseño, está bien escrito y de una manera muy amena.

Eduardo: El lenguaje, el material y en general todo es claro y muy interesante. Analiza todo desde el origen y lo desarrolla de forma muy amena. Lo único es que la letra es un poco chica y cansa a quienes no tenemos buena vista.

Yako: Bruno's got some good ideas; I liked that he gave a little setting of a Japanese home and talked about his work. Sometimes he goes off on some tangents, not bad but can get a little heady. Very funny guy, very good designer.

Carlos: Writing in a smooth yet profound way. The book has many chapters, which make it easy to read. I read it in airports and planes (a long trip) and it kept me laughing, it has a fine dose of sarcasm, and learning, Munari doesn't take art and design issues lightly but he remains the best example, other than Italo Calvino himself, of the six principles for literature. I learned more about design and art in those sheets than anywhere else.

Jonny B: Bought this on a whim, the cover looked cool and the title was intriguing. I'm a graphic designer by trade. I had no idea who Bruno was but his writing is easy to read. It flows pretty well and you definitely learn a lot. It gives me a bit of extra leverage when I'm defending what my job is and isn't. It's more of a philosophy of design.
