You probably know Monteiro if you are a designer or work with designers. He is a “tell it like it is” guy who is in favor of strong unions, good jobs, unlearning some of the bad stuff from design school and making a lot of angry jokes many of which are very funny. I am not a designer, but a lot of his information is pretty applicable to anyone who freelances or has to work with clients at a thing they know more about than the client. This is an update from the original edition, some new stuff, some redacted old stuff. I appreciate cheap books. Good reading.
