Borrowed this book from my college's library and it has many good inputs about building a great portfolio. I love how it covers a lot such as the size, material/medium, content and other attachments of an aesthetically pleasing and functional portfolio. This really helped me a lot with mine :)

While not in graphic design, I do need to communicate and grab attention. This book offered some transferable ideas for layout and further development of my brand.

Flipped through this and found it inspirational but had to return it.

Light on actual information, but useful enough to spark further research.
