B. Martin Pedersen [Editor]: GRAPHIS DIAGRAM 1 [The Graphic Visualization of Quantitative Information, Procedure, and Data]. Zurich: The Graphis Press, 1988. First edition. Text in English, German and French. A fine hardcover book in a nearly fine dustjacket: dark jacket lightly shelfworn. Books feels unread. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print.
9.5 x 12.25 hardcover book with 284 pages and 431 full-color illustrations. Designed and produced to the highest standards of Zurich’s Graphis Press. With a name like Graphis, it has got to be good.
“Presenting hundreds of examples from a wide range of applications, GRAPHIS DIAGRAM 1 sets the standard for diagrammatic clarity and aesthetic quality. An introductory chapter traces the diagram as a means of communication through the centuries. Individual chapters are devoted to the various forms of diagrams in use today . . . . This handsome volume beautifully presents the multiplicity of diagrammatic challenges, possibilities, and solutions.”
A comprehensive survey featuring the legendary designers you would expect and then some. Many uncommon examples - highly recommended.
