Its a good of comprehensive work of 8vo which founded in london by Mark Holt, Simon Johnston, and Hamish Muir from 1984 to 2001. It's very nice to see the collective of the work which have different kinds of working method from typesetting and paste-up, computer-based visual and digital artwork, to layout and specification to support software application development. It is also cover the magazine Octavo which very difficult and expensive to find. I wish the book is larger but with more than 500 pages I shouldn't complain. The layout of the book is very interesting with very rich information and images in the content. Its definitely a nice book to collect.
