The Brilliant History of Color in Art
Beautifully illustrated with examples, mostly drawn from the collections of the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and rich with lesser-known anecdotes from art history, the book succeeds perfectly in walking a fine line between the educational and the entertaining to deliver a wholly satisfying and stimulating perspective. It will please new and veteran artists, those interested in historical tidbits, and newcomers to the field.

Maurice Sendak: A Celebration of the Artist and His Work
A must for fans of Sendak and a great gift book for aspiring illustrators.
PREMIUM
Art of the Dead: A Celebration of the Artists Behind the American Rock Poster Movement
A striking book that will be of passing interest to all fans of graphic design, this is especially useful as a unique and valuable reference to a vibrant, short-lived form of expression. This era of poster art is sure to be of interest to cultural and art historians and critics for years to come.
PREMIUM
Banksy: The Man Behind the Wall
A fluent, enjoyable discussion of an important contemporary cultural phenomenon; this book will appeal especially to readers who are fans of Banksy's work and is an essential title for devotees of pop culture and outsider art.
PREMIUM
Dr. Seuss: The Cat Behind the Hat
An appealing gift book for Seuss and children's literature enthusiasts and a fine portrait of an important figure in American art, illustration, and children's literature.
PREMIUM
Nothing & Everything
A useful book for its look at the Buddist-influenced avant-garde and as a supplement to more detailed titles such as Rick Fields's How the Swans Came to the Lake: A Narrative History of Buddhism in America and Carole Tonkinson's Big Sky Mind: Buddhism and the Beat Generation.
PREMIUM
R. Crumb
Important for Crumb fans, anyone interested in underground comics, and, to a lesser extent, graphic design students. An affordable novelty title that general readers might find amusing or nostalgic, but the core audience will be loyal Crumb followers.
PREMIUM
Coast to Coast Album Covers
An essential title for jazz fans and, at this price, a good choice for most readers with even a passing interest in the cultural history of the mid-20th century.
PREMIUM
The Language of Graphic Design
The examples are well chosen and the art nicely reproduced in this moderately priced book, but its usefulness as a standard reference, as the introduction suggests it might become, seems questionable. The explanations of some simple terms are overworked, and the layout, while pleasing and illustrative of design principles, doesn't lend itself to easy referral. This is a worthwhile though not essential addition for practitioners in the field.
