«’Open Design and Innovation by Leon Cruickshank is in many ways the most comprehensive, courageous, and useful contribution to the discussion around open design so far - historically founded, professionally reflective, giving substantial evidence in five case studies, and including practical advice for "open designers". With this monograph, Leon Cruickshank successfully adds his voice and profound thinking to the discussion of open design, prevailing over previous collective works such as my own Open Design Now and the excellent "Dutch Open" issue of The Design Journal.' Peter Troxler, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands and senior editor of Open Design Now 'Cruickshank provides us with unique and fascinating insights into the rapidly expanding field of open design and innovation, describing its origins and underlying theories alongside contemporary applications that do facilitate creativity in everyone.’ Rachel Cooper, University of Lancaster, UK»
