 Item
Identifier: CC-02333-2373
Scope and Contents This is the 1st edition of the book. An extensive review of this book can be found in Eye Magazine volume 8, number 32. Rick Poyner reviews "Visionary Cities: The Arcology of Paolo Soleri" by Donald Wall in his essay "The Designer as Architect: The Book as Spectacle." Poyner writes, "Nearly thirty years ago, when Donald Wall created this extraordinary book about Italian architect Paolo Soleri, he uncannily projected a vision of 1990s typography in its most process-driven, radical form...Just to list a few of the book's most striking typographic features is to recall the mannerisms of some of contemporary design's more celebrated figures: text blocks that run into the gutter; words reversed out of columns of type, obliterating the text; words that shoot off the edge of the text area and continue mid-letter on the next line; overlapping messages that merge in dense overlays with Soleri's photos and drawings; a giant Helvetica sentence that rolls on like a juggernaut for nineteen...

 Item
Identifier: CC-62661-48788
Scope and Contents Notes on this book by Robert Fitterman - web site: Dirk & I have a very active, over-the-shoulder style of collaboration. As with our earlier project, cedars estate (www.ubu.com), Dirk & I tend to sit in front of the computer together and look at images and text and have conversations about the implications of each choice. In War, the musical I produced a text, first, comprised solely of web language, and Dirk also chose to compose with mostly downloadable, digitized images. The intersections became complex when we discussed the larger frame of our thinking processes. For instance, Dirk became engaged with ideas about commodification and institutional critique that echo my own ideas about how we, as Americans, process war through media. Dirk saw, in the text, an engagement with the media that he, in turn, wanted to maximize in the design of the book.

Scope and Contents This book is a compilation of printed material from journals of West Virginia Paper from the years 1953, 1954 and 1955, including cover designs and pages. Bradbury Thompson designed the cover and index of the book. The index describes and lists the contributors in the following categories: artists and photographers, illustrations, subject headings, engraving processes and type faces. The text conveys the importance of print, ink and paper in mid-20th century America. For example, in issue 194 one reads,"To the sculpture, stone is a cosmic force crying for form. The strokes of Michelangelo's chisel unlocked ideas from marble that remain as valid today as four centuries ago. Great works af art provide mankind with imperishable riches because, as expressions of eternal ideas, they retain a constant value for every time. Printing, too, endows the human spirit with a legacy of indestructible ideas. The currency of thought in every age is minted by the printing press. Ink and papers...
