As members of the graphic design press corps we are thrilled to have gotten a review copy of their massive, literally, The Phaidon Archive of Graphic Design, which chronicles the most important artifacts and projects in the history of graphic design since the advent of moveable type. The “book” is a box of 500 individual, double-sided sheets, each with one artifact reproduced nice and big on the front and a nice, lengthy explanation (and further images) on the back. I took an iPhone-unboxing-style approach to the book, so that you could share with me in the geekery that this collection sparks. Retail price is $235, but Amazon will give it to you for a mere $148.50.
