I'll have to disagree with you. Have you read the book in question? When you do, I think it will make my point clear. Think of it this way: Robert Bringhurst's book on typography is highly relevant regardless of technology, time or context. It's of a higher level that discusses the topic of typography as core design principals. The same can be said for a book like Designing for People by Henry Dreyfuss, A Designer's Art by Paul Rand, Envisioning Information by Edward Tufte, Interaction of Color by Josef Albers. All books that trascend the technology and context. Paul Heckel's book is in this category for interface design. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. -- Andrei Herasimchuk Principal, Involution Studios innovating the digital world e.
