  A designer put together all inspirations / ideas he once had into a thick as a brick book for sharing. You find quotes, photos, newspaper clipping, sketches and all sorts of useful (or useless?) info. They have been carefully and objectively designed to get an artistic look and feel so that it won't get messy. With no particular order and you can flip through it to get your own inspirations from it anytime.

  All in all it's a very good reference book even if you are not working in design industry. Imagine you can dig into someone else's head / mind to find out what he was thinking or up to...It's like browsing the designer's PC hard drive. Just be warned, while digesting all the funny or crazy clues, don't get lost.
