Don,
I have also recently published a collection of 200 design Methods. I will
be publishing a second collection of 200 methods more during November. I
may publish a third if there is sufficient interest. They cover methods
that I teach at Art Center. I haven't yet seen Vijay's book. I look forward
to reviewing a copy. There are descriptions of each method and information
about when and where and why each method is applied with some templates.
Here is a link to the first book.
