Quick Facts

Chuck's Comments

This book covers the glam, punk and new wave era of the 1970s and early 80s. Most of the posters from this time period are reproductions of the album covers, or just photographs of the band. The posters in this book are photographs of actual posters that show crease lines and other small damage from display. Lots of running commentary about the era, with very little talk about how the art work was developed.
