All it needs to be
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is all it needs to be: a big, varied collection of British graphic design from the 20s, 30s, and early 40s. There is enough work here that I believe anyone could pick this book up and find *something* inspiring enough to warrant the $8 (used) spent.
Deco Lovers Delight

Anyone who collects or has an interest in Art Deco must own a copy of this collectible book. In fact, you'll love the artwork so much, you may want to order two copies. A friend told me he pulled his first copy apart and framed some of the ads for decoration -- a great idea. The smaller size of some of the artwork makes it perfect for displaying two or three different designs in a frame, separated by matting. (Hint: Have the mats cut in deco style.) Hmmm . . . I may copy that idea! You will love this book.
