We just want to take a moment to highlight our recently arrived stock of Letterform Archive Editions. Not only are these amazing books in and of themselves, they are also fantastic artist resources. Both the quality of design and printing is top notch. And most importantly, the publisher's choice of material to document (i.e., their curation) is quite copacetic. Visit our publisher page for Letterform Archive, and then take a moment to check out the book(s) that catch your eye. Our pages for each of the Letterform Archive books includes a link to the publisher's page on that title, and their pages are fairly spectacular, especially those for The Complete Commercial Artist: Making Modern Design in Japan, 1928–1930 and Die Fläche – Facsimile Edition.
