“401 Design Meditations”, by Catherine Fishel, is a lovely coffee table book containing 401 quotes from designers, artists, writers and thinkers from around the globe on one subject: Design. I recommend this book as I found it to inspire me and was great to spark up conversation with others.

You’ll receive exactly, 401 quotes from people on the topic of design and around 45 wonderful illustrations. I’d say the book is surprisingly designed for a commercially produced book - it’s reminds me of design notebooks many people keep with random thoughts and drawing thrown in everywhere. Now this may not be the type of book for everyone, but if you’re serious about being a designer and you like the art of language, you will enjoy it. You will remember all over again why you chose this field, you will laugh at situations you didn’t know you shared with others and feel comforted others feel your pain. I recommend it.
