Product Description

Product Description

Made in cooperation with Colors magazine, this book features an amusing collection of signs from around the world. Divided into chapters by type (animals, men, stop, danger, weapons, transport, children, toilets, work, "nol", etc.), the signs demonstrate how different cultures interpret the signs with which we are all so familiar. The colorful photographs are accompanied by text describing the signs as well as their meanings and origins.

5.0 out of 5 stars Signposting around the world, 9 Jul 2004
By Robin Benson - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      

The title of this intriguing chunky photo book has a word missing, it should have been '1000 ROAD SIGNS'. Actually probably about 940 official highway signs and the rest being privately made but still relating to roads. The three-language text for the twelve chapters (Animals, Man, Stop, Dog, Transport, Children, Miscellaneous, Danger, Weapons, Toilets, No! and Work) is on single pages and mixed into the relevant photo sections. Considering that the subject matter is rather uninspiring, visually this book looks rather good, photos are twelve, six, four or one to a page and there are plenty of spreads with one photo.

There are some pretty weird signs, too. One from South Africa has an explanation mark in a triangle with three words below, 'CAUTION ROAD STOLEN', Australia has a no swearing sign, a red outline circle with a red diagonal across the body of a man, by his head there are five marks, *!#"?.

I'm not quite sure who this book is aimed at, highway engineers and transport planners, graphic designers, or readers who go for quirky books (that's me) but as it was produced in conjunction with Colors Magazine (Taschen published their '1000 Extraordinary Objects ISBN 382285851X) you can be assured of something a bit different to leave on your coffee table.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shocking Disappointment, 16 Oct 2009
By Ade Wilbury (Brighton) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 1000 Signs (Tachen 25th Anniversary) (Hardcover)
I am a huge fan of Tachen's 1000 series. The other books in the series are fantastic. This book contributes very little to the world of signage, however if you find road signs from around the world interesting this book will be for you. I'm shocked Tachen put their good name to it.
