This is the book that introduced me to graphic design. I refer to it even today more than thirty years after I first read it. Among my Favourite posters in this volume:

• Victor Moscoso, “Young Bloods”
• Seymour Chwast, “End Bad Breath”
• Jan Lenica, “Wozzeck”
• Dziga Vertov, ”The Man With the Ciné Camera”
• Cassandre, “Dubo-Dubon-Dubonnet”
• Saul Bass, “Bunny Lake is Missing”
