North by North : Scandinavian Graphic Design

Rating:
Summary: really cool graphic design, short on content
Review: this book contains a lot of good visuals, and if you are into this sort of scandinavian graphic design, you won't be disappointed. i wouldn't say that there is exactly a lot of variety, as everything fits into that sort of northern european sophisticated visual youth culture look, but there are a lot of things that are pretty amazing and visually engaging. the interviews are of the level you would find on any decent design website, which is fine reading on the web but for some reason doesnt really satisfy in book form.

the cover shown ... isn't the one you get. it's a hardcover without a jacket, which kind of bites. the other book in this series, coast to coast:american graphic design, is worth checking out also.
