"I found this a remarkably moving work of scholarship, in many ways it is a little masterpiece."
"This is both scholarly and elegiac. Quite remarkable. So richly researched and observed yet not over labored in the writing."
"The work becomes a ficto-critical account and is a literary as well as a design studies work. Design research does not often pay attention to the beauty of its prose like this. The writing is balanced and always easy to read and understand."
"This is a really exquisite work of scholarship which is both a design history and design theory of material objects and the designed world."
