Product Description
From Library Journal
This revised edition of the 1995 original features a new cover and a new opening chapter putting Carson's more recent work in context of the rest of his career. The text is brief, but the volume sports 225 images, including eight gatefolds. Even if you have the original, this enlarged, affordable title warrants purchase. An essential title for graphic design collections.

Book Description
He was the "enfant terrible" of graphic design in the nineties. His tortured typography prompted a vocal camp of critics to accuse him of being flippant and of destroying the communicative basis of design. But now the techniques of David Carson (and those of his countless imitators) dominate advertising, design, the Web, and even motion pictures. With 35,000 copies of the original sold, this revised edition of "The End of Print" includes a striking new cover and first chapter that puts Carson's work in context. The rest is vintage Carson--cutting edge and explosive. "The End of Print" tracks his career from skateboard and surf magazines, to the landmark "Beach Culture" magazine and his groundbreaking grid-breaking work for "Ray Gun, " and finally to handling major corporate identity accounts. "The End of Print" marks a turning point in design that ushered in the look of today.

First Sentence
another way to read the "end-of-print" prophecy. Perhaps it referred to Carson and the wave of experimentation that took print to the edge - as far as print could go. Read the first page

This review is from: End Of Print (Paperback)
I thought the book was very inspirational, with many many many examples of Carson's rule-breaking design. Definately a must own for those with a fresh and adventurous take on design. However, this book is not for designers who cling to 'the grid' like a baby blanket or those who tremble at the idea of pushing the limits of visual communication.

This review is from: End Of Print (Paperback)
As a graphic designer I think this book doesn't add anything in this field. I read lots of reviews about this book and they all said that it is magnificent that's why I bought it, but it is really a waste of money and time. The book and the images in the book will just tell you that David Carson is different and he has an odd taste in the typography nothing more or less.I didn't get any inspiration or any benefits form the ideas in this book. My honest advice to you, if you are thinking of buying "End of Print" don't do it, instead buy anthoner typography or graphic art books which is going to be much more useful than this one

This review is from: End Of Print (Paperback)
This was a trend changing book. The work that is actually (David Car5on) is from a time when the only thing happening...happened with the youth. Like today, the only progressive (read=good) design is coming from urban youth culture. Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Graffiti, HipHop, Rave...the list does go on and it wouldn't be a list if David Car5on didn't Design.This is a book demonstrating the need for a change in the normal graphic design world. Good read...Good reference...Unbreakable.
