Daily Book Graphics #197 / Perception

Unfortunately this cover was printed at a slight angle. The painting is of course Josef Albers and the design is by Fred Troller (more about Troller in DBG #46).

Daily Book Graphics #190 / Let There Be Rock

I'm a day behind on DBG postings (I'm back dating them, so it all appears seamless), I'll probably catch up tomorrow. I am super busy at the moment, with multiple deadlines and a show approaching. In any case, this book, published in 1968 provides a step by step guide to forming a rock group. I found it at a thrift store, but it originally came from a public library in Burlington, Ontario. I checked out the Wikipedia page for Burlington to see if any future rock stars could have once checked out this book, but unfortunately there are no significant rock stars from Burlington. Jacket design: Robert Pliskin/Barrington Smith

Daily Book Graphics #189 / Architects on Architecture

This cover didn't quite fit on the scanner bed so there is a bit more black to the cover than appears here. ©1966, Jacket design by DeMartin-Marona and Associates, Inc.
