A while back Stephen P. Anderson asked me if I could share "what's in my bookstack". Well, it's not just books—but here are a few paper products that I reference on a fairly regular basis.
Passage To Liberty
An well-designed book that reminds me of my heritage and the things that my parents faced as Italian immigrants. It helps me to remember where my roots lie.
A Whole New Mind
An enlightening piece that reminds me to use all the parts of my brain on a daily basis.
Citizen Marketers
One of the most comprehensive books on what the "prosumer" movement is really all about.
No Excuses
The story of Kyle Maynard, a boy born with no arms and legs who became a champion wrestler. A reminder that I have no excuses in life.
Made To Stick
One of my favorite reads on how to make ideas memorable.
The Myths of Innovation
A great way to look at innovation as a process.
The Brand Gap
One of my all time favorites. A must have for anyone looking to bridge the worlds of design and branding.
The Laws of Simplicity
An interesting read that lays out how complex simplicity really is.
Color Harmony
Something I reference when looking to communicate with color.
IDEO Method Cards
A wonderful source of inspiration for the creation or mashing up of different methodologies.
Creative Whack Pack
The "Anti IDEO Method Cards", I use this as a counterbalance to IDEO's cards. The Whack Pack is less about methods and more about good old fashioned inspiration.
