wonderful guidebook for designers!

I got an early release PDF version of this book from Oreilly's special promotion and I fell in love with it immediately. This is a great how-to book for anyone who wants to be a great designer. As a self-made designer, I found I spend so much time learning how to be confident in meetings and articulating my designs to otherss, and I always look for tips to improve this. This book has been one of my favorite findings, I have so many notes on the side that it almost covers the page, I also did some doodles to summarize my learnings. So many examples in this book resonates in my mind, and I love Tom's tips. The book is very clearly organized. Tom puts us in a scenario where a meeting with stakeholders on design decisions is about to happen, he walks us through different stages of the meeting, and in each stage offers great tips on how to handle different situations. His language is also very enjoyable, my favorite plain English style, very easy to read. Definitely worth five stars and beyond. I highly recommend this book to any designer, and specially those who are self made like me. It will guide you to become a great designer!
