Small hardcover book with just plain text. No pictures nor colorful. Not recommended as a coffee table book. If you’re a reader who’s interested in the book, definitely recommended

Used it in a book stack for my floating shelves. Looks great and can’t wait to read! This isn’t a huge “coffee table book” it’s smaller but it works perfect for me because my shelves aren’t deep enough for a large book anyway. Love!
Not a coffee table book :(

I wanted to use this as a nice big coffee table book, but it’s the size of a regular book. I should have checked the dimensions. If you’re looking for a coffee table book keep looking!
You wont regret buying this one :)

Good story, wish it had pictures

I loved learning about their story because its a different approach to the design business. Loved to understand that they wanted to look at business in a BIG way with a start-up mindset vs thinking of a normal small-scale design business. That is the value and different that Syd brings to the equation-scale, professionalism and BIG thinking. Very brave journey! Wish it also had some design tips and pictures.
Exactly What I Needed!

Interesting autobiography
4 out of 5 stars
Beauty in the Binding - 4 years ago
I knew nothing of Syd and Shea McGee before I picked up Make Life Beautiful. Having read this autobiography which covers from their college days up until present day (2020), they now feel like new friends who invited me into their social circle and shared their story. Their journey held my attention as they experienced seasons of joy, times of disappointment, and everything in between. While Syd and Shea Mcgee share about their business and Shea’s designs, it is primarily an autobiography. There are some embedded principles, but it is not a how-to or self-help book. I think the book needed a photo section, especially since so much of Shea’s story includes her designs. I recommend Make Life Beautiful by Syd and Shea McGee to any of their fans interested in learning about this couple.

Boring and Predictable

This book was so predictable. There was nothing that was unexpected. Save yourself $20 and don't even bother. You will be bored to tears.

It's a Return for Me

I so wanted to like this book, but am disappointed in a couple of aspects. First, the book is hard cover but the paper quality of the pages is more akin to a paperback. It just doesn't feel great in the hand. I had expected more pictures, but there are only 4 double side pages with pictures at the very back of the book...and several of them are on the Target website already! The book is basically the story of how they created their company...not much on design principles. And there are a couple of pages with easy exercises to help you figure out your style, but nothing that ties it to implementation.
Disappointed

Let me start off by saying I love McGee and Co, but I was really disappointed by this book. First of all it’s really small. It looks like a tiny little book that you would read for school. Also, there are absolutely no pictures in it. I really wanted to love it but I am returning it. I was picturing a big beautiful coffee table book and this is most definitely not that, so just beware.
