SustainAble: A Handbook of Materials and Applications for Graphic Designers and Their Clients by Aaris Sherin

This is one of the most unique book designs I've ever experienced. Before opening the book, the dust jacket explains how the materials used were all sustainable choices. Even the cover is made of a bi-product that is usually thrown out during the printing process. This means that there are no two covers that are the same - nice. Apart from the interesting production of the book, SustainAble by Aaris Sherin, was a useful overview about the challenges between design and its impact on the environment. A good takeaway was the definition of sustainable design, I've seen/heard similar definitions before, but this was a simple and clear thought that starts off Chapter 1. I also appreciated the many examples but was particularily interested in the solutions and concepts by Tricycle, the Nike Considered line, and Nau from part two of the book.
