I haven't seen the book before, thinking about buying it, but it seems there a little available. Currently for mainstream symbols & icons I'm using the free <a href="http://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/symbol-signs" rel="nofollow">AIGA systems & icons</a> set. A worldwide approved collection, free for download in .gif and .eps file type. Thanks again for your comment. Hi MP - Thank for your recommendation, very appreciated.

It looks like a good resource for anyone interested in learning more about signage design. Thanks for sharing. Have you heard of <a HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Symbol-Signs-pedestrian-oriented-Department-Transportation/dp/0823063259/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I1MHP4EF8L95BZ&colid=XIEPBGY5Q361" rel="nofollow">Symbol Signs: The Development of Passenger/Pedestrian Oriented Symbols for Use in Transportation-Related Facilities</A>? There is also a <a HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yearofthesheep/sets/72157604094790378/" rel="nofollow">Flickr </A> set you can view. It looks like a good, albeit short body of work. Cheers. -MP -MP Very insightful breakdown of the book Sander. It looks like a good resource for anyone interested in learning more about signage design. Thanks for sharing.

I read many books on signage design topic and this is a resource with many examples of European projects, that makes it very interesting for me to read. The book explains with many examples how projects have come together. I often go through my library to find matches of projects that I'm currently working on, this gives me insights from different angles. Thanks for your comment, appreciated.
