NEW TITLES ON OUR DISPLAY TABLES FEBRUARY 2006

Communicate:

Independent British Graphic Design since the Sixties

Destination America:

The Peoples and Culture that Created a Nation

This absorbing book is a companion volume to the PBS television documentary of the same title. One look at the photograph on page 6 of the ingenious raft created by a courageous group of young Cubans helps one understand that the United States has become a wealthy and powerful nation because of the unique characteristics of its citizens.

20s All-American Ads

Not only is this book of full-color advertisement reproductions a visual feast but it may be the closest most of us can ever get to recreating an emotional sense of what it was like to live in 1920's America.
The Zundel Sanitary Toilet Chair featured on page 250 is an idea that obviously never caught on but may be worth a second look. It fastidiously conceals the bathroom commode as a parlor chair!

70s All-American Ads

Well, they weren't the 60s but they were close.

Nine categories:

• Alcohol and Tobacco
• Automobiles
• Business and Industry
• Consumer Products
• Entertainment
• Fashion and Beauty
• Food and Beverage
• Interiors
• Travel

80s All-American Ads

An efficient and effective way way to relive the 1980s and the Reagan years (if you really want to). Full-color.

The Economic Power of Schooling
