Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Megg's History fo Graphic Design
This is an excellent textbook and well worth the price. It's more like a history of art and culture.
Rating: - Very informative
I purchased this book for my Graphic Design history class. The book is well written and it is very informative.
Rating: - overall very good
i bought this product as new. i could tell the book had not been or had hardly been opened b/c of the sound it makes when you open a new book. the pages are clean and crisp. it was only the book jacket that protects the hard cover that had a few marks on it, but overall i'm very happy with it. =)
Rating:  - Not as good as former editions
After using all the editions, the latest isn't up to the late Phil Meggs' standards. In its attempt to
be concise and concept oriented, it omits much cultural and marginal information that was
interesting and flavorful. This edition is not as delicious as the others. I'm thinking of switching
textbooks for my students.
Rating:  - Excellent resource
This book provides an excellent resource on the graphic design industry with in-depth information on typography and how different art movements affected graphic design. It is well written and has great pictures with detailed descriptions. I recommend it for every graphic designer's personal library.
