A beautifully designed and engagingly written volume, it arrests the eye and startles the mind into thought. One learns a great deal, easily and gracefully, from the prose that works without distracting attention from the magnificent images.

Great cultural perspective of graphic design. Showing a true pioneer whose not gotten much credit until now. Just when you thought all those cool firms with funny names pioneered everything you finally find where they got their ideas. Touché to Mr. Chantry. And touché to those before him even lesser known than he who he owes it all too.

Nothing can beat the “raw power” of Art Chantry. This book is a must in every graphic designer/student bookshelf!. . .

ok, ill admit, ive yet to purchase this. . . im ashamed or myself for not owning it yet.
i dont have an intimate knowledge of Arts collection of works, but the man is a goddamn genius.
i know this personally, since i was privileged enough to experience a several hour long presentation by the man himself, about a year ago.
my idea of design will never be the same, hell my life will never be the same.
whatever anyone else here says, BUY IT.
