How to Be Popular: Everything You Need to Know, an&hellip by Jennifer McKnight-Trontz
I bought this for my little sister who has had more than enough advice thrown at her. McKnight-Trontz skillfull rides that tense line between our real wish to be loved by others and our knowledge of how damaging the pursuit of popularity can be. The book isn't just sharply ironic, it is beautifully produced as a piece of graphic design.

Many have use fonts from House Industries. Their latest fonts are both appealing to consumers and useful to designers. House fonts become cliches within months of being released due to their popularity. The members of House Industries use a combination of craftsmenship, nostalgia and virtuosity in their design, seen here in this book, that is intoxicating. This book is really just a fetish piece, but I bought it anyways. I am sure that anyone involved in the production of this book lost ten years off their natural life because the printing is so fiendishly complex.

Just in time for designers looking for research material on the 80's and a good coffeetable book for serious vinyl collectors. Comprehensive reproductions of album covers that were the vanguard of the new wave style. Also for those, like me, who think MTV misrepresents the 80's. This book is proof that our teenage past was full of innovation and shocking imagery. Proof that there was something before rave culture. Had a blast going over the book with others in their late 30's.
