This is a compendium or bundle of past pamphlets published by the designers. The word ‘bundle’ should be taken literally: the book has been created by putting the original separate publications together, the design of the individual issues being used as the guiding principle for the new collective work. The result is a celebration of the field of graphic design in all it is a fairly sober production, with individual sections in grey wrappers that not only serve as markers between the sections but also guarantee a sober spine. The fashion for this kind of open-spine binding, vastly popular in recent years, now appears to have ended; here, however, it is very much an appropriate choice as it demonstrates the designers’ intelligence and sharpness. Not everyone appreciated the interview format, but the fact that the makers have succeeded in bringing these highly disparate subjects together to create a coherent book was greatly admired.
