Typically one glides through these books content in just appreciating the images while overlooking the cumbersome writing. Would not have a problem had the book description been accurate. Gives you a glimpse of how humanity is spinning backward, instead of forward with regard to creating beautiful things.. The assortment of advertising and typographical examples Louise Fili has assembled makes for very delightful viewing. Louise Fili and Steven Heller are certainly prolific but none of their output seems to suffer as a consequence. Fili is quite a wordsmith.
