Meggs' History of Graphic Design
by Philip B. Meggs and Alston W. Purvis
In its debut edition in 1983, A History of Graphic Design received accolades from the Association of American Publishers as a publishing landmark. Now in its Fourth Edition, this unrivalled, seminal work continues its long tradition of providing balanced insight and thorough historical background. Widely accepted as the most authoritative book of its kind, this enlightening Fourth Edition offers more than 450 new images, along with expansive coverage of such topics as Italian, Russian, and Dutch design. Under the new authorial leadership of Alston Purvis, A History of Graphic Design , Fourth Edition offers hundreds of full-colour images supported by the latest information, including a new chapter on modern type design. With more than 1,000 illustrations, lucid text, and interpretive captions, this Fourth Edition reveals a saga of creative innovators, breakthrough technologies, and important design innovations. Graphic design is a vital component of each culture and period in human history, and this Fourth Edition was carefully reviewed and updated to best represent the work of particular time periods and designers. This edition's historic account is an extraordinary panorama of people and events, including: the invention of writing and alphabets; medieval manuscript books; the origins of printing and typography; renaissance graphic design; the arts and crafts movement; Victorian and art Nouveau graphics; modern art and its impact on design; visual identity and conceptual images; post-modern design; and the computer graphics revolution. A History of Graphic Design , Fourth Edition surpasses in detail and breadth the content, design, and colour reproduction of previous editions. Professionals, students, and everyone who works with or loves the world of graphic design will quickly find this reference tool is an invaluable visual survey that they will turn to again and again.

Don't waste your money on the 4th edition which is way overpriced. This listing is for the 3rd edition. This is NOT for the cheap, lower quality International Edition. The only differences you can expect from a newer edition are a new book cover, a small update, and slightly different page numbers which are definitely NOT worth the enormous additional expense. We Guarantee that you can use this earlier edition for your class and save money. If you aren't certain, ask your instructor. If, for any reason, you can't use this book for your class simply contact us for a full refund.
