Customer Reviews

Exactly what I needed!

I was trying to create a resume and a portfolio for a competition. This book was exactly what I needed, and I was successful in reaching my goal. Other reviewers felt that this book was more for high school kids. I am a PhD candidate at a major university. My advisor suggested this book, and I am grateful for the tip.
