This is one of the great books on the subject of Graphic Design History in the 20th century. Students love it because it is well written and focuses on truly major figures. The Meggs book is also the standard but should be expanded into a four or five volume set that can be more comprehensive. One volume should be devoted to women and under recongnized minorities. Please re-publish this book. The cover could use a bit more restraint. Inside reproductions are excellent, mostly in color and large enough to appreciate the work being addressed.

If you want a quick reference book for graphic design history with great pictures then this is the book for you! It is definitely a book that I will be beyond the graphic design history class that I bought this book for.
