Yes, you should buy this book. Here's why:
1. We all do *information architecture*
2. And we do it *every day*
Also, @redsesame is super insightful and you can hear her genius on this episode of A Lens A Day - Conversations about Information Architecture:

Another book that does this: @redsesame's @Everyday_IA. Been working in tech since a year after college, but it _really_ helped me understand information architecture. Before, I understood that it goes deeper than navigation, but it helped me practically see how it's applied.

I read the @Everyday_IA book by @redsesame and it was GREAT! Funny, educational, clear, and practical. Very glad to have read this one.

7. I GOT MORE TO SHARE ABOUT COLORS. Remember this? Let’s talk about how color can do a murder to you (and how organizational systems can't save you) xitter.gq/Everyday_IA/status/112…
And as we learned earlier: “Colors were once identified by the substances from which they were made…Now, the paint manufacturer actively conceals the [ingredients]. In fact, virtually no naturally occurring pigments are in use today.”

I assume the intention was to display popular/common patterns, and for consumers to browse the pages seeking a match to their own walls. But, uh, yeah, that’s just a good way to poison them. COOL STORY ROBERT KEDZIE
