When we roll up our sleeves at the book sprint, we're going to be creating a new kind of book. That means there's no example we can point to and say, "we want this book to look like ''that''. But we are constantly on the lookout for web sites, books, articles, videos and just about anything else that can help inspire our work.

Please add more, and note what about that example is inspiring, useful or relevant to this project. | When we roll up our sleeves at the book sprint, we're going to be creating a new kind of book.
