Varied good examples of retro posters etc are shown and have a short commentary followed by the design firm, artists, designers, photographers, publishers and most importantly the primary fonts used.
For myself the quality of the retro designs and the ability to identify most of the fonts used makes this book a must buy. Some of the fonts are difficult to track down, but if they were easy to find then the book would not be so valuable.
Many thanks to the authors for an excellent book.
