It’s sad when one reviewer’s poorly informed rating (see the previous reviewer) can mar a book’s starred reputation on amazon. com. LOOKING CLOSE #5 is an excellent addition to the theoretical literature on graphic design.

At this point, the essays are simply filling space. It’s a shame such an important, groundbreaking series has had to encounter such an undignified exit. Most valuably this edition reflects the ineffectual ambivalence of a profession in the throws of a significant identity crisis. Hopefully the outcome is massive evolution and a telling survival of the fittest.
