The writing/content of this book is 10/10. Design holds a special place in my life, and discovering certain designs I love are woman-made makes them even more special to me as a woman.
The actual book was slightly bent when it arrived, had to straighten it out but still shows a bit of damage unfortunately. The cover is much more vibrant turquoise than I expected so if you’re planning to use as a coffee table book, you might want to make sure you can fit this colour into your interior.
