Reviews
Foster is spot-on ... exactly the kind of book the design world should want. * Bookforum *
Elegant and incisive essays. * Boston Review *
In a polite and even schmoozy art world, Foster stands out for being willing to make barbed comments on design gods. * National Post *
Foster makes a lot of sense. * Village Voice *
