Review:
I read carefully the Encyclopedia of Labels written by Mike Fairley.

At last, we have a comprehensive reference resource to de-mystify the jargon.

For a supply manager of label, this type of book is a great enabler to communicate properly with the converters, especially if someone is new in the job (which is often the case). We all know that the basis of a good communication are to articulate properly and simply a concept and to put the same meaning behind the same word.

Mike has used all his extensive knowledge and experience to give clear and understandable manual on labels: the definitions are clear and the diagrams convey the right message.

I am recommending it to my global team and to my innovation colleagues around the world.

Mike - Well done. Again.
