A fantastic list - a few interesting surprises in there, too!

(by the way, the Cold War Modern catalogue is edited by David Crowley and Jane Pavitt. Highly recommended, and the exhibition is brilliant.)

i am thrilled and delighted that you mentioned my book

ALL THE WRONG PEOPLE HAVE SELF ESTEEM

or frankly, anybody else)

dianne arbus book is really good. great design, looked nice on display at the met.

james castle book is not designed well, or curated well, but james castle himself is perhaps the greatest artist.

as for the rest of the books, i would probably sell them to the bookstore or some (such as tschischold, helvetica forever), i may give to friends if i had them.

Can anyone recommend a good book that looks at graphic design for exhibition environments?

Thanks, Ishan
