"I've been looking all over the Internet for a sign design book that would aide in training new designers. Found "Inside Sign Design" from Chatterbox Designs. This book is loaded. Met the author. Great guy!"

- Anastacio, Sign Rhino, Los Angeles, CA (Source: www.TheSignSyndicate.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3709)

"That book seems more nuts and bolts and maybe a little too "marketey" for my taste. Wish I had it when I started working in an electrical sign shop. It looks interesting and I will get it. I might as well, I have every other book on the subject."

- Rick Chavez, Kingpin Creative, Hemet, CA (Source: www.TheSignSyndicate.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3709)

"Cool! You get to talk to Mike? Great guy! He also does training. I got the PDF version too. We're incorporating it as a reference to our sign design training program."

- Anastacio, Sign Rhino, Los Angeles, CA (Source: www.TheSignSyndicate.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3709)

-----------------------------------------------

"I too purchased the PDF download and exchanged a few emails with Mike. Great book and a great guy. If you're new to sign design, or are going to hire a new designer, you need this book. Like Rick said, this one book can teach you a lot of the fundamentals in a day versus a year or two of experience."

"Okay, I got the book and I read it... If I would have gotten this book when I started at a sign shop, especially an electrical sign shop, I could have learned in a couple of days what it took me a year to learn. It's a good nuts and bolts book about how sign design works at an average sign shop. Talked to Mike to. He is a really nice guy and very enthusiastic about the business. It was great talking to him. I highly suggest it for any sign shop. If you have been doing it for a while, you know the bulk of it. But if you have issues with presentation and problems with your design process, it's a great resource."

"Got the eBook. As I am a novice and on my own, this is exactly what I needed. I have wanted to produce professional and "correct" documents and estimates. This is great!!!"

"I saw this book being posted on The Sign Syndicate, bought the download version. Thought I would share it here. Many here are only doing basic sign types, but for those who are looking to grow your business or your career in electrical and interior sign design, or want to tighten your design and presentation, this is the book for you. I am not kidding when I say that what took me a year or so to learn, you can read in 2 days and reference it as you go along. I knew this information already and I practice it. Most of my reading is in the pursuit of getting higher end work. But this is a great book that addresses sign design at the sign shop level."

"I don't know about other designers, but I collect other people's presentations. I take the ideas of their presentations and incorporate them into my process. I'm always trying to fine tune my system. This book should get a shop closer to implementing a standard process, especially for self-taught shops, which a majority on this site are."

"Yup. I agree with Rick 100 percent. This is an area of design I'm wanting to break into. I bought the book a couple of months ago. It's packed full of great info for anyone wanting to get into electrical sign design. The price is nothing. The knowledge you get for a measly $140 is priceless. And like the author states over and over, where else are you going to learn this stuff? There's no school to learn sign design."

"This is too funny Rick. I too purchased the e-book and I told Mike (the author) I'd have to write up a review to post on Signs101. I guess you beat me to it. As Rick said, this book is awesome. And anyone who works (or wants to work with) electric signage must have at least one copy. This book will save me tons of time and money training a new designer (when the time comes). WELL worth the $150 price tag. I purchased the $55 PDF and still plan to buy the paperback."
