Ask HN: How good is the Bootstrapping Design book?

5 points by anon121 14y ago ↗ HN

I saw a posting on the Bootstrapping Design book(http://www.bootstrappingdesign.com/) few weeks on ago on HN and subscribed to their mail list. Now that the book is ready and its beta version is available for purchase for $39, I would like to know if it is worth the money. Also if you can recommend other books on design that is worth looking into. I am not interested in mastering design per se, but at-least develop a minimal level of understanding to help me interact with designers.

I'm the author. Sorry I'm late in seeing this! If you happen to check back, feel free to email me any questions at hello@bootstrappingdesign.com.

I can also point you to reviews and feedback from customers.

This book seems to go on the same principle of bootstrapping design (maybe a little more in depth?, check the sample chapters as well): http://designforhackers.com/

The book itself is decent enough but I think it's way too short to justify the price tag.
