Book excerpt: A compendium of 250 assorted graphs, maps, charts and illustrations - the latest and best in diagram graphics from all over the world. Put together with the cooperation of some of the world's leading graphic artists based in America, Holland, Britain, France, Japan and elsewhere, this is an outstanding selection surpassing the first volume in its comprehensiveness. It showcases fine diagram design used in pamphlets, in annual reports, in magazines and newspapers, from a range of different media in different places. From computer-assisted 'new wave' graphics to the more orthodox, demonstrating the delicate artistry of hand-drawn graphics, this is a rare assemblage of quality artwork that is not normally accessible in collective format. A 'must' for every designer's bookshelf!
