Get Face to Face With the Great Ones
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Goes well with Revival of the Fittest also edited by Meggs. This sample book is different in that the faces shown were chosen by other designers. The faces seen in this book are the ones that you will be using 95% of the time.
