Not enough pictures :) - By: Ms. J. Crabtree, 26 Jun 2008 
As I work best with pictures rather than words. I love graphic design books packed with large images full of inspiration. This has images, but not enough- plenty of writing tho! (hahaha) Guess its good for contextual studies though.
Great over view - By: , 29 May 2002 
Organised by country & date, this book is a great introduction to where Graphic Design is coming from. Not expecting you to know anything about the topic, this book can be used as a history, or as a quick contextual refrence book.
An excellent introduction to the history of graphic Design - By: fogo-fatuo@clix.pt, 15 Jan 2002 
This is the best introduction to the history of Graphic Design I ever read.
The book is very well organized (chronological & geographically), & despiste the amplitude of the subject tries to reach the roots of the cultural & technological context of the big mutations of the contemporary graphic Design.
Easy to read contains reprodutions (however smallin size)that help to visualize the essencial movements & authors, & doesn't stop at the Bauhus but goes to just yesterday.
