Book Reviews of Graphic Design: A New History
Book Review: Amazing book, needs to replace Meggs in all classrooms
Summary: 5 Stars
The history of graphic design has recently been emerging as an important part of the history of art, but was left with a dearth of decent introductory texts which could be used either in or out of a classroom. Eskilson has written exactly what has been missing. The writing is good, thought-provoking, and comprehensive. The illustrations are even better. When one looks at the history of publishing in art history, certain books appear that become classics, and this one is obviously a contender for that same title.
