“Yeah, I’m frustrated—where the Hell is the maze?” I love that they actually built this. And the slight wiggle on the T is great. The image is by Fred Moncrieff. Design by Stuart Ross.
His name in this typeface looks cool. His name in this typeface 10 more times looks 10 times cooler. Designed by Andor Braun.
Love the simplicity of this cover (Design: Christos Giamakos. Photo: Kenny) from 1965.
Pretty stark cover. But I love the way the bottom two lines align with the stat-cam’ed factory image. Nice composition/balance.
The other two I have from this series are the books that kind of started this whole thing. I’d seen this other one on eBay, but it was too pricey. But I just stumbled across it at a ridiculous mess of a used book store near Wrigleyville. For 2 bucks!
I believe it’s the last of 3. From 1966.
One of my favorites, mathematical or otherwise. A little bit of texture in the illustration (by John and Kenneth Astrop) when you look closely. That’ll be it for the math books for awhile.
Math books yield some interesting graphic abstractions. This one is a little more representational than the previous two, but still very cool. Designers love arrows! Designed by Larry Carter.
