Reviewed: Eco Design: the Sourcebook (Revised Edition)

352 pages of unbleached paper with a laminated soft cover - we're off to 0811855325_largea good start with Alastair Fuad-Luke's Eco-Design: the Sourcebook (Revised Edition).  Worth the price of admission (£18 with free shipping from Amazon UK) just for the appendix of designers, manufacturers, and green organizations - but screw all that, let's look at the sexy pages brimming with pictures. We likes da pictures.

As well we should!  This gorgeous book has 570 products, ranging from Dyson vacuum cleaners to cardboard tables, and so many pictures - 850 in fact - that you'll spend the first hour just flipping around foolishly and saying "Oh, yeh, I could use one of those - green cell phones from Philips, a stacking composter, doorknobs made of recycled plastic, a huge variety of modular furniture... It does an excellent job of making you look at everyday objects and think, could that pile of discarded glossy posters take on new life as a wastepaper bin?  Highly recommended.
