Some people who have always been agency-based and never freelanced will also find it good to get over the fear of it all and there are plenty of tips for everyone. You're more of an old hand these days (time goes fast huh?) so you'll know a lot of it. Maybe you can give it as a leaving present to all those young designers you'll end up firing throughout your career...

I've been interested in buying this, but now that I've read your review I think I'll have to stay away. I think I may just have been sucked in be the Web 2.0-i-ness of the whole thing. I will however be recommending it too all of the young designers getting made redundant at the moment. Silver linings and all that. <abbr><em>Matthew Delprado's last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MattsFoundlings/~3/qtlrHq4yHVQ/96431626" rel="nofollow">we love typography. - It's like FFFound for typography.</a></abbr></em> Glad you reviewed this.
