Graphic design manuals by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Josef Mu ller-Brockmann are included, alongside pioneering instructional titles on advertising and the impact of the avante-garde. 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 detailed, along with groundbreaking anthologies on trademark design, Polish film posters, corporate identity and more. All the books, whether classic histories of Bauhaus design or rarely seen sourcebooks of symbols and type, are illustrated with a wide selection of spreads and covers, all in colour. In addition, leading international designers have provided lists of favourite titles from their own libraries. "An authoritative list of graphic design books... A beautiful publication featuring spreads from 100 seminal works... The book offers a mouth-watering selection of fodder for the graphic design bibliophile" Creative Review
