Just looked at this book in a university library the other day and it really is quite lame. It tells you just about exactly what you thought with about 5 pages total about industrial design schools. Miss it, more info can be found by doing a google search. Also see Yossi Shuman and I have been talking about this issue and he has compiled a google spreadsheet related to the matter. http://tinyurl.com/9wsx9q
