Reviews
'Intelligently laid out examples of the company's work, organized in a user-friendly style, provide an overview of excellent design from the early 1960s to the present.' (Graphis) 'The book itself is easy to handle and impeccably printed with superb photography. Technically and aesthetically it cannot be faulted.' (RSA Journal) 'The breadth and quality of the work shown is awesome.' (Design Week)
Synopsis
This book documents the unique working methods and products of one of the world's best-known design companies from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. For the first time, a wide range of the Pentagram partners' internationally acclaimed work - from corporate identity to architecture and book design - is surveyed and used to illustrate the many different forms of thinking that design may take: from narrative to parody and pun. All the Pentagram partners have contributed essays on their particular preoccupations, while special sections examine the implications of the client-designer relationship and the Pentagram company's own structure, personnel and methodology. A fascinating peak behind the scenes, this book permits a penetrative insight into how one of the world's most energetic and prominent design companies functions, in everyday reality, to produce the astounding works for which it is famous.

    This seller was kind enough to inform me he was away from his store and would, upon returning, ship this item the following morning. I purchased Hitsville USA The Motown collection 1959-1971. The shipping cost was very low. Which made the value of my purchase an excellent find. All CDs were in better than expected condition, and the accompanied book was in new condition. Better than "as described". Packaging was outstanding. Feel confident buying from this seller. Great Job ! ! !
