I'm always interested in sharing my reading list. It never seems to
stop growing, either! With interests from the technical to the theoretical
from traditional art to the art of Oceania, my reading will never bore
you! So take a look and follow the links to Amazon.com to buy your own
copy. And now, with Amazon's new service that allows you to even buy
used books, you'll probably even find the "out-of-print" books on this
list, too!
I offer these books as suggested reading for students
and professional graphic designers alike as well as friends and associates
of the industry who have an interest in visual communications. You can
order many of these titles by simply following the links to our online
ordering service via Amazon.com.
Though you may find that quite
a few are said to be out of print, I list them here because, well,
believe it or not, you are
very likely to find them at your local bookstore. As large chains buy
out remainders in bulk, many of the so-called "out of print" books
will find their way to bookstore shelves. And, for those who don't have
the time to search, Amazon.com offers a service for whereby they search
out remainders and used-books suppliers to find a good quality copy of
a title if you're really interested.
Much success in building your Visual Communications library!
To be sure you
let Amazon.com
know that we recommended
these titles to you,
follow our links to place your order!
