A very nice book that seems to contain most every technique I can think of to create boxes. I suppose it is for someone who has some experience in the area and wants to learn more. It is organized by topic, and provides next textual explanations of each technique with step by step photographs. It was a good read and will make a handy reference for trying out new ideas.
