Design, Marketing & Technology Books

You are here: Home / About Darren Mudd / Design, Marketing & Technology Books

Photo of some of my books

Books about design, marketing and technology are of great interest to me and have given me ideas for how I run my business.

Some of my favourite titles are included on this page and I have written about them with you in mind.

While I’m happy to read eBooks and listen to audiobooks, I have to say, there’s something appealing about a book made out of paper.

Books I Like, Own & Recommend

All the titles reviewed on this page are what I have bought and own. I do not agree 100% with everything in the books, and in such circumstances I’ll say so.

If I think a book is bad, irrelevant or of no interest to someone running a small business it won’t be mentioned here.
