This guide combines insights gained from over twenty years of successfully working, in the field, with real-life small businesses.

There are no theoretical complexities presented in Duct Tape Marketing - just simple, effective and affordable marketing that sticks.

CAREFUL! Duct tape is a serious tool... it sticks where you put it. So are the ideas in this book. If you're ready to make a commitment and are willing to make something happen, John's book is a great place to start. --Seth Godin, author of Purple Cow

I have never read a business book that is as packed with hands-on, actionable information as this one. There are takeaways in every paragraph, and the success of John's blog is living proof that they work.

Threadless: Ten Years of T-shirts from the World's Most Inspiring Online Design Community

Threadless: Ten Years of T-shirts from the World's Most Inspiring Online Design Community Review

This book should be essential reading for every designer/illustrator/creative person. It's visually stunning and thought-provoking, with hundreds of wonderfully diverse designs spanning an entire decade of Threadless t-shirts.

Aesthetics aside, it's also a wonderfully refreshing read. Because this book isn't JUST a collection of the designs you've been browsing/buying for years. It's also a portrait of a company founded by two people who stumbled onto success (fiscal and otherwise). The Threadless co-founders ("the two Jakes") eschew business school buzzwords like "crowdsource" and "collective innovation consortium;" both willfully admit they're not particularly good businessmen and needed outside help when their company took off. They're just a pair of guys who wanted to make some cool t-shirts. Both come off as genuine and incredibly likable, ostensibly proving that success is as simple as a good idea, a passion and a strong work ethic.

Hence, the books succeeds on two levels; first as a collection of inspiring/interesting images, second as a wonderful narrative about two friends who psuedo-accidentally monetized a wonderful idea and brought graphic designers together by forming a community/marketplace where good design is both encouraged and rewarded.

Halfway through your first reading you'll want to drop everything and open up a new Photoshop file.

Buy this book. Then buy another for your best friend.

Threadless: Ten Years of T-shirts from the World's Most Inspiring Online Design Community Overview

Threadless.com is the phenomenally successful T-shirt company with millions and millions of tees sold since it began in 2000. It pioneered the online business model of crowd-sourced or community-driven design, in which people submit designs that are voted on by the site's 1 million users and printed. Over the past 10 years, the company has amassed a vast archive of very cool, very hip, and often very entertaining designs, and Threadless is a spectacular showcase of 400 of the very best T-shirts created by the community--a barometer of art and design over the past decade.
 
Much more than a book of extraordinary graphics, Threadless tells the extremely interesting story that inspired Inc. magazine to hail Threadless.com as "the most innovative small company in America." There are also profiles of individual designers and "think pieces" from influential admirers, including design guru John Maeda, Jeff Howe of Wired, and bestselling business/marketing writer Seth Godin.
