GRAPHIS ANNUAL: THE ESSENTIAL 52/86

If you're like me, you know that all you need for limitless design inspiration can be found in any Graphis Annuals ranging from the early 50's to the early 80's. You have obsessively sought out copies of any of these annuals, maybe collecting even whole decades and periods, and spent an embarassing amount of money in the process. If you're smarter than me, you've waited for the release of this book, which collects highlights from these annuals' greatest years and presents them in their original page layouts (like the originals, some designs are in color and some in black-and-white), for one good price. A great gift for young and old design lovers, an amazing reference and resource, this has gotta be one of the essential design books available, a must have. Here's where you can get one.
