    The "Textile Design" book is gorgeous! Lately I've become more interesting in construction so I may be checking these out!

    These look like great books! I love any books by Francis Ching. They are what I used when I was in design school. You should also purchase Space Planning Basics by Mark Karlen. It's full of good info and great graphics. Are you using Autocad? There are so many helpful CAD books out there! Enjoy your design reading and good luck with your class.

    When I was in Color Marketing Group I picked up the "Color" book at a conference a few years ago. Well, I still haven't finished it - it's interesting but totally not engaging in my opinion - I'm a color person and I couldn't get into it. You could skip it and not miss anything. The "Colorstrology" book was a fad a few years ago, it's okay. I would check out any books by Leatrice Eisman who is the Pantone lady. She's "the" color guru (and a nice lady to boot). Enjoy your classes!!

    Looks like an amazing selection, Fran! Are you going to buy all these or try to track them down at the library? I should definitely add these to my list...

    I have the O & L Style book and love it! How fun to be introduced to new sources of inspiration and I will certainly be looking into some of these. Happy weekend, Fran!
