"Recommended!" according to Nelle Mercer. Wow, what a fantastic tome! Illustrations are stunning. Writing is clear. It's an enormous topic and this HUGE and physically heavy volume really does the subject of graphic design justice. I recommend to anyone who is interested in the graphic arts..

Victoria Furst said A wonderful addition to any design library. I love this book, had to get it for a class but I will keep it forever and haul it from pace to place as I grow old. So beautiful with an expansive history of design with in.
