What a great reference of typology! I use a lot of these fonts today. What an amazing price as well. You can't go wrong. Any graphic designer or advertising agency should definitely have this on hand. Taschen produces such beautiful books!

I ordered both of these volumes; when I first received them they looked so beautiful that I was seduced simply by flipping through the images.

But when I settled down to read the accompanying text and captions, I was sorely disappointed. The written material is humdrum at best. The book does bear the words "Visual History" in its title, but one might still expect some expert explanatory material to place the images in context.It is true that the images are generously proportioned, the books are handsomely produced, and the keycards inside the back covers provide access to all of the hi-res images. However, these volumes should have provided text that did justice to the quality of the visuals.
