 | The End of Print by David Carson, Lewis Blackwell
He was the enfant terrible of graphic design in the nineties. His tortured typography prompted a vocal camp of critics to accuse him of being flippant and of destroying the communicative basis of design. But now the techniques of David Carson (and those of his countless imitators) dominate advertising, design, the Web, and even motion pictures. With 35,000 copies of the original sold, this revised edition of THE END OF PRINT includes a striking new cover and first chapter that puts Carson's work in context. The rest is vintage Carson cutting edge and explosive. THE END OF PRINT tracks his career from skateboard and surf magazines, to the landmark BEACH CULTURE magazine and his groundbreaking grid breaking work for RAY GUN, and finally to handling major corporate identity accounts THE END OF PRINT marks a turning point in design that ushered in the look of today AUTHOR: David Carson, Lewis Blackwell

 | Mister Johnson by Joyce Cary, Norman Rosten
The last of Cary`s celebrated African novels, this is the story of a young Nigerian clerk--an innocent and a dreamer--and District Officer Harry Rudbeck of the British Colonial Service. Rudbeck decides to build a road, a project that is difficult, unnecessary, and possibly insane, and which points up Cary`s belief that native culture is inevitably corrupted by the values of colonialism.
