"This is not a book you'll read from cover to cover. If you've already put considerable time and creativity into your current portfolio this will likely be only moderately useful. It is primarily focused on portfolio design for recent graduates and doesn't address the concerns of most continuing professionals. It also has the problem of needing to be updated every few years so, we are over due for a new model. It is good in that it offers a large assortment of black and white images illustrating different portfolio styles, both in terms of binding, layout, and content. It was useful for me in that it helped me to get out of a creative block. It was motivating to peruse the variety and have some sort of reference other than solely my own imagination and the limited number of professional portfolios I've seen in my career."
"Considered the definitive guide to portfolio design. I found it an invaluable tool when compiling my own university applications. This book offers detailed explanations and examples of diverse portfolios."
"I used this while putting together my two portfolios for undergrad/grad school. It came recommended to me by another older architect...but I really didn't find it to be that helpful/applicable."
"So far as I'm aware, this is still the main book geared towards assembling an architectural portfolio for employment or graduate school. I have to assume there are better versions out there, but as it stands, the book proved helpful for adopting many general guidelines and some specific recommendations during my grad school submittal process. It felt a bit dated or perhaps cautious in approach (due to the immediately post-dot com era in which I read this, the examples seemed a bit "early 90s" I suppose. Maybe it's been updated since?). Look around before committing to this one."
