Ten Speed Press, 2001

Stunning, inspiring, and grand...
I stumbled on this title when it appeared as the centerpiece to a local store display of flag books that went up in the wake of September 11th. The stunning production and the breadth of material represented provide a truly unique insight into the power of the American flag as a symbol (of freedom, to be sure, but also as a symbol of revolution, grief, and pride). If you want the full impact of ...

Kit Hinrichs, Pentagram

Thames & Hudson Ltd, 2007

A Collection of Eclectic Reading
To be blatently sales related, an organization such as a design firm has a difficult time in selling itself. What can you say that doesn't sound like pure puffery - we do neat designs, we have brilliant people, look at what we've done in the past. The Pentagram partnership instead decided to publish a series of papers, monographs really that talk about something that interestes the partners. ...

As the cover says 'A celebration of the American flag....'. Ninety-six of the countries leading (graphic) designers see it their way. All are thoughtful interpretations of the flag, mostly in two-dimensional form. A couple of interesting exceptions are Chris Hill of Houston who decided to make it difficult for himself by using 2400 red, white and blue pencils, all sharpened and standing upright ...

Wonderful Americana Book
100 American Flags is a very well-done, educational little book. Perfect for a Hostess gift for a 4th. of July Party. That's why I bought two - one for me and one for a dear friend who collects Americana and has a HUGE 4th. of July Bash every year.

Let type talk
I'm surprised that no one has reviewed this book before now. I bought a copy soon after it was published in 1990 and I've dipped into ever since, if only to appreciated the great book design by Kit Hinrichs and look at some knockout typography in the reproduced printed pieces. The 160 pages are split into three sections: first Hinrichs expresses his thoughts on design and typography in a Q&A ...
