Hmmmm… where is the “Edit Post” button?
It’s too harshly not “to harshly” since I’m not inviting you to take pot shots, unless you’re throwing Boston Cream pies.

Norbert,
Well done! It has your touch of humor.
Frankly, I quit reading U&lc about the time of the format switch. At the time, I felt it had run its course. I wish the book focused more on the earlier years when U&lc was a real force in the industry. I guess the editor felt he needed to focus on what he knew best (his own era) but I would like to see more from the Lubalin years when U&lc was breaking new ground.

Excellent review Norbert, you rule.

Whew!
No pies in the face so far.
Thanks. Despite the shortfall of too few samples prior to 1981 (when Herb passed), it’s great seeing the work of so many famous designers “unleashed”!

Norbert, Is Steve still going to send you a signed copy of the book?

John D. Berry sent it directly to me, signed, sealed delivered!

Come on, make your comments on Typographica!

Okay, I did.

and for good measure:

Rich reviews the same book at http://www.p22.com/terminal/Uandlc.html

I read Richard’s review over a week ago and let him know how much I enjoyed his “You and Elsie” article in a previous thread.

I could use a good pie in the face about now, say chocolate cream?
