Poster Collection: Revue 1926, by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht and Felix Studinka.

This book is from an unusual exhibition that presented an unfiltered view of posters from a single year - 1926, a year with no remarkable historical associations. The wide variety of subjects and styles is eye-opening, and a reminder that tidy historical studies often mask  the messy nature of reality. In English and German. 64 pages, with 91 color plates. 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. Softcover. $21.

Poster Collection: Black and White, by Lars Muller.

The power of black and white is revealed in this selection of contemporary posters from the Zurich Design Museum. Amidst the cacaphony of the modern streetscape, these posters reveal how the best way to get attention can be less rather than more. In English and German. 6 1/2  x 9 1/2 inches. 80 pages. Softcover. $22.
