And these posters by Emil Ruder

    Italian graphic artist Germano Facetti did a lot of very nice covers for penguin pocket editions of R.D. Laing.
    G.F. made a (VERY)rare "book" called "Identity Kits" which was a box full of information ...an attempt at the Logos?
    this type of graphic art is relevant to my interests

    yes, and the subject matter of some of those books is pretty mind-blowing too

    roger that, zagoba.
    I collected those books for the cover art when i was around 10-12 years old, and i eventually did read them. very effective book design, it literally drew me in. I still have a shelf in my library devoted to paperbacks with amazing covers, sadly, they are not all as readable as some of the titles mentioned here. mostly really weak sci-fi, but i digress...books & their covers... you be the judge.
