You know the old saying: Don’t judge a book about magazine design by its jacket. The dust jacket on this book is awful, but the insides are excellent. This is the first book to be published on magazine design in any language. Or, so claims the jacket copy. It aims to show, chiefly by illustrations, the best current (circa 1969) magazine practice. The illustrations are drawn from magazines produced in the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, and Sweden, in the 1960s. We once brought a copy of this to the beach and read it cover to cover. It’s loaded with all sorts of graphic and typographic lessons that are still useful today (circa 2026).
