Look Both Ways: Illustrated Essays on Design and Life, by Debbie Millman
$17

gg09-lookbothways3.jpg

We love Debbie Millman's musings on her radio program "Design Matters," and soon it will reappear as a TV show. Until then, we'll be passing along these gorgeous illustrated essays on Millman's designed life. Each story is rendered in a different medium and features (hilarious) insights into Millman's brand-obsessive personality, from loving her Levi's to the packaging of Goody barrettes, all illustrated by Debbie herself. A truly life-affirming gift.
