Who knew they still had it in them? Excellent examples of young Swiss typography abound in this handsome volume.
The truly beautiful work is loosely grouped by style, which works surprisingly well and makes for enjoyable browsing.
The only thing vaguely disappointing about the book is the 20-page essay lead-in, which, for me, falls into the "Impenetrably Lofty Writing on Design" category. Blah blah blah. It looks very nice on the page, but it's painful, joyless reading. Turn to the informative writing in Intro's first "Sampler" volume and Ginko's "Visible Music" to see it done right. (Mind you, this is all personal bias. I may just be too dense to comprehend this particular piece.)
Who cares, anyway? It's a design book. No one reads design books. They're all about the pretty work. And there's plenty of it here.
