(Part 2) Top products from r/CrappyDesign

Ok I was curious and had to look this up. Judging by the listing this is supposed to work like a Swiffer and the listing doesn't explicitly say it's a vacuum. It also has no reviews on Amazon which is always questionable. Still ballsy though and I still admire the hustle lol.

The material is supposed to go over the watch. These were originally made in black. Someone in marketing must have realized they weren't selling and pitched the idea of adding designs.

Here's what the original looked like: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Hidden-Touch-Screen-Digital/dp/B00GH46750/

I got one of the black ones for free in a surprise box.

I'd recommend figuring out who's responsible and them giving them a copy of Don't Make Me Think. It's a relatively short book, so they might actually read it, then they might actually get some good ideas.

the bookstores of American universities are independently owned/operated to the university, and in fact just license or are a reseller of materials from the university itself when it comes to branded gear.

They're known to overcharge for a lot of books. Consider that The C Programming Language costs $30 new for a copy. My university wants $50 for a used copy of an out of date printing that was based on a draft.

The professor of this class actively says "DO NOT BUY THE BOOK. I WILL PROVIDE YOU A PDF." Despite this, people still buy the book.

This semester, I bought a book for one of my classes on amazon because the bookstore was like "LOL IT'S OUT OF PRINT WE DON'T HAVE IT." This was inverse of the email (that was later claimed as "forged") from the instructor, forwarded from the bookstore, saying it was in stock. On top of that, they wanted $350 for a book that's $40 new.

Basically a book with that name.

Massimo Bottura is actually pretty cool though.

There is, in fact, a book that is completely dedicated to the subject. Imma just leave this here and walk away slowly: http://www.amazon.com/The-Dictionary-Corporate-Bullshit-Enraging/dp/0767920740

Disclaimer: I purchased a copy of this book once. It was "stolen" from my desk after a random sweep for exposed sensitive or confidential information. Oh! The subtle humor in that alone...

It reminds me of "the epiplectic bicycle", which was a bike in a kids' book of the same name, which was made into a short film. A custom bike builder liked it and built one that's actually rideable

If only there were some mathematical principle that could tell mapmakers how many different colors they'd need...

(If you want to read more about the matter, the book "Four Colors Suffice" is a thorough explanation of how the Four-Color Theorem was solved using early computers and a whole lot of human effort.)

Great explanation of this and other engineering failures in this book: To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design https://www.amazon.com/dp/0679734163/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_u7DUzbYPVVVET

Seems like they still haven't gotten around to fixing the pages for their other attire: http://www.amazon.com/Snow-Lotus-Womens-Neckline-Mermaid/dp/B019MNF6R2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_193_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41KukVzTKRL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL200_SR106%2C200_&refRID=16H5F7PD1D99N20ZZM9J

yep - the amazon listing

I had the Summer book growing up, I recognize the art style and dog.

Definitely faded. *couldn't find any spine angles

Still seems an odd choice of letters to highlight. Unless maybe the choice of black letters follows some sort of acronym used in the book or so.

I think this may have been the one I read as a kid; "Bestiary: An Illuminated Alphabet of Medieval Beasts", by Jonathan Hunt

Apparently that's not a peel away, just a different version of this: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Hidden-Touch-Screen-Digital/dp/B00GH46750/

Weird.

In case someone wants to make this into a template

The actual title is Fire Shut Up in My Bones. This doesn't make the design any better, but that's just a confusing title in the first place.

The kindle version even costs more than the regular version... But at least it isn't $525 like the hardcover version

It's a satirical work.
It's a crap design, I'll give you that, but all the words are in the right order: Link
