The Wayfinding Handbook: Information Design for Public Places
"The content is quite strong, starting with a breakdown of the design process and where each of the chapters falls into the different categories. After seeing this incorporated here Im not sure why more books dont do something similar by showing the content in a logical way. Talking out loud here, I think theres a great opportunity to incorporate a table of contents in a related way Along with the process and content, the design of the book is quite strong. I enjoyed reading it, not just because of the content but how it was laid out." -- Michael Surtees (March 2, 2009) --Design Notes"The content is quite strong, starting with a breakdown of the design process and where each of the chapters falls into the different categories.

This book should point the way, as it were, for better solutions in the future." -- Stephen Zacks --Print Magazine, June 2009"Great for the designer in your life... this informative little book shows how we find our way from here to there using a complex systems of visual, audible and tactile cues. If you can digest the rather-academic language (it is published by Princeton Architectural Press, after all), you'll never look at an ordinary old sign in the same way again. " -- Dorothy Robinson --Metro, March 23, 2009"The Wayfinding Handbook is Gibsons first book and the latest volume in the publishers Design Briefs series. It offers a comprehensive look at the discipline, covering everything from managing projects to fabricating signs." --Metropolis"For anyone who ever wondered how designers helped you arrive at your nosebleed seats in a sprawling stadium, this is the book for you." -- Shin-pei Tsay --Urban Design"David Gibson on Business Week's innovation of the week podcast!"  --Business Week"This book by graphic and wayfinding designer Gibson has a very particular niche. It is excellent in providing a general introduction to the field of environmental graphic design, or wayfinding. For someone with no exposure to this field, this volume will be very informative in covering the various details of this type of work."  --Choice Magazine
