(Preface) 'Bibliographic: 100 Classic Graphic Design Books is a unique, absorbing compilation of the best design books of the last 100 years. Covering a huge range of material - from historic titles by pioneering type foundries to the best of recent monographs from today's leading studios - it provides a striking insight into the evolution of graphic design in the twentieth century.
Classic graphic design manuals by László Moholy-Nagy and Josef Müller-Brockmann are included, alongside groundbreaking instructional titles on advertising and corporate identity. Monographs designed by and covering the major individuals and studios of the era - from A.M. Cassandre and Alexey Brodovitch to Stefan Sagmeister and Peter Saville - are explored, along with seminal anthologies on trademark design, Polish film posters, the impact of the avant-garde and more.
All titles, whether classic histories of Bauhaus design or rarely seen sourcebooks of symbols and type, are illustrated with a wide selection of spreads and their covers, all in colour.
In addition, top international designers have provided lists of favourite books from their own libraries. Bibliographic will be a rich source of ideas for graphic designers and a fascinating series of histories of great design books, and should find a place in any studio's library.'
