'Back of the Napkin' and other book picks

You know it’s the end of the year when everyone does their “Best of” lists. Fast Company’s “Business Books of 2008” is one worth checking out. My favourite is Dan Roam’s “Back of the Napkin”: a guide for businesspeople to making diagrams for expressing ideas. (Since everyone in design knows you don’t actually need to be able to draw to do them!)

Other notables on the list include Nicholas Carr’s look into the future of computing “The Big Switch, and the IDEO map books series “Eyes Open”. (Via Fast Company)
