'For anyone with an interest in the development of visual communication in Britain, this book is unmissable. There is, to date, no history of British graphic design, so any volume that dusts off so much fine work from the archive is bound to have great inspirational value.' Eye, 2003 UK 'A fascinating read for anyone interested in design, popular culture - or life - in the past three decades.' Sunday Business Post, 2002, Ireland 'Creative Review in style, War and Peace in bulk. - If you don't get this for Christmas, you've haven't been good.' MacUser, 2002, UK 'Let's face, D&AD is the best art we have.' Stephen Bayley, The Independent, 2002 UK 'A great gift for the design fan in your life.' Time Out, 2002 UK
