Milton Glaser: Graphic Design is a landmark volume celebrating the creative vision of one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century. Showcasing a wide-ranging collection of work from the early decades of Glaser’s career, this richly illustrated book explores the ideas, techniques, and visual language that helped define modern graphic design. From the iconic Bob Dylan poster and innovative book and record covers to branding, editorial design, environmental graphics, and the launch of New York magazine, Glaser’s projects demonstrate the power of imagery to shape culture and communicate ideas. Accompanied by insightful commentary from the designer himself, the book reveals the inspirations, philosophies, and artistic influences behind his celebrated work. Both a historical record and a source of creative inspiration, this enduring classic remains essential reading for designers, artists, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of visual communication and contemporary design. Review: Fabulous design by a gifted artist and illustrator. - Wonderful book by an amazing artist and graphic designer. I bought it as a gift, and the recipient hasn't quit talking about how much he's been enjoying it. The breadth of styles and creativity Milton Glaser displayed are legendary. There is no one design style that defines his work, except always exciting and dynamic. The book is nicely printed. Would be a great gift and reference for any art student. Review: A close, if brief, look at art-making - Since you've made it this far, allow me to briefly write about the book--the other commenter puts Glaser's personality so well in context. The book's content is graphic material, both published and rejected, complemented by Glaser's succinct explanations concerning any of the following: historic/social context, guiding professional principles, technique and process, interpretation, the tension between client and creator, etc. The text and the graphical works are very diverse, ranging from terse to lengthy, and simple to complex, respectively. All in all, the feeling of being in Glaser's presence (in class or studio) is likely to grow in you as you progress through the book. If what you've read so far compels you to get the book, do so by all means, it's a 5-star! Otherwise, if, let's say, you are looking for for something akin to a cafe-table book, this one gets only 3 to 4 stars.

Graphic Design pioneer
After seeing that Milton Glaser had done the promotional design work for MAD MEN (season seven), I took this book off the shelf to revisit. The work that Milton Glaser did during the 1960's proves him to be a true pioneer in the world of Graphic Design. The book is a vast selection of his work, and shows the scope and talent of his palette. I'm glad I gave this book another look.

More than a coffee table book
Glaser's work is so incredible and the selections in this book make that all the more clear. I particularly enjoy the text along side the art plates as well as the brief introductory chapter. A great book for inspiration and seeing how he so successfully linked good design and with good communication.
