What book would you recommend for Graphic Design?

Which book would you recommend for someone who's planning to learn and study fashion design?

• Answer:

  "… has got to be one of the best books on fashion ever written… [shows] what it takes to make it in a big city… so inspirational… gives me the strength and courage to follow my dreams…" - N.K., Detroit "… loved the fascinating glimpse into the high-fashion world! … Congrats on writing a great and funny book…" - N.L., Montreal "… one of the funniest and most genuinely written books ever! … a hell of a writer! … definitely recommending it to my readers." - thefashioninsider.co.cc, Qatar "You know you've arrived when you've lunched with Alaia." - The New York Times magazine My manager and I have actually been working on distributing my book through the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC (where I non-matriculated in Design after graduating college), because several people have called my book a "must-read" for aspiring fashion designers. There's a possibility I might do a teaching session or a seminar with the school (which only hires professionals who have worked in the field, and not strictly teaching professionals) in exchange. I'm not sure if this is the type of book you're looking for; it's not a technical manual or anything like that. But it will definitely give you "real insight" into what it's like to be an independent fashion designer in a major city without a huge amount of initial funding behind you. Plus it's just hilarious and entertaining too, if I do say so myself. http://abbe-diaz.com/books/PX_This/ If you're interested I can give you the secret link to the free promotional PDF on Scribd, or if you prefer, you can wait until the next free promo on Amazon for Kindle--  (https://abbediaz.quora.com/The-Diary-of-the-Maitre-d-to-the-Stars-is-FREE-on-Amazon-July-15-to-19) --which should be sometime in the mid to late Spring right around the release of my much delayed second book (a sequel to the first). Honestly, I wish this book had been available to me when I first started, and I have yet to hear of any other book which I think would be equally fruitful. Good luck to you!
