Books to Purchase for Class

I would like for you to purchase two books. They are both available from Amazon but I will include the ISBN numbers in case you would like to look for a cheaper copy elsewhere. You might try follets or another college textbook site to find alternative prices, as well as the used book z-shops on ebay. I would recommend that you purchase both as used copies unless you would like a prestine copy. Both of these books are reference guides that you can use throughout your education and in your professional career. Please order them as soon as you can but there is no rush to have them by the next class.


The first book is A History of Graphic Design by Philip Meggs (latest edition, ISBN: 0471699020), however you can feel free to purchase an older version if you prefer (just please make sure it is no older than 2000). I think the major difference between the editions is the incorporation of more current information however all editions still offer a wealth of information.

The Second book is Rob Carter's Typographic Design: Form and Communication (latest edition, ISBN: 0471783900). It may be listed as Rob Carter, Ben Day, and Philip Meggs. As is the case with Meggs' book I recommend perhaps buying an earlier edition to save money. Unfortunately there is a new edition coming out but it won't be out until November.

Please just be cautious if you are buying from an alternative site that you are in fact getting these book titles and not something else. Happy purchasing.
