Book details changed!



Argh...

It seems the ISBN of my book 'Visual Communication: From Theory to Practice' has changed (to 2940373094), along with the cover. It happened yesterday or today, so I'm not sure what that means for people ordering it through Amazon, as the old version is still there but with a message 'try ordering it used'...

Anyway, here's the UK Amazon link.
The publishers have changed US distributor, which is why it isn't appearing on Amazon.com so if you're in the US you might have to use the .co.uk link to order it. I'm told it will be solved soon, though.

First good review came in last week. A former student, who doesn't hold back on the criticism so can be trusted as objective, said the first chapter had made the concept of semiotics become clear after she'd looked at just about every other book on the subject. Considering the book is aimed at students and not fellow academics, that's good to know. She said that now she can read the other books and they make sense - which was the aim of the book: a quick introduction to complex ideas that can then be pursued in more detail.

Dumbing up, not dumbing down!
