Men and Style reaches beyond standard “what to wear” advice: it is equal parts style guide and intriguing conversation about masculine identity in the world of fashion. 

The book offers a much-needed source of inspiration for the growing number of men who enjoy expressing who they are through their clothes, manners and lifestyle. Explore the history of men’s style and learn from the personal wisdom of some of the most notable tastemakers in the industry and beyond. 

The book addresses everything from the importance of ties to where to drink in New Orleans to the worst corsage ever worn to a prom. Coggins shares his thoughts on clothes, manners (and misbehaviour) and other gentlemanly concerns, including premature gray, socks or no socks, facial hair, corporate dressing, the difficulties of gift giving and other subjects that men want to discuss and are seeking a forum to do so.

Alone in a Crowd is an extension of Giuseppe Santamaria's successful first books Men In This Town and Women In This Town.

In this, his third book, his focus is once again on men's fashion, but seasonally based - winter (polka dots - representing snow flakes) and summer (pin stripes - representing sunbeams). He has once again travelled broadly to capture candid street shots of men in Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, London, Paris, Florence, Madrid, New York and LA.

The book also includes written profiles, in the form of mini interviews on style and fashion choices, with men in different cities and notes on his subjects different style directions.

Men of Style explores the best-dressed men of recent centuries: from actors to statesmen, playboys to painters, the iconic and the more unexpected. The book comprises profiles of their colourful lives, sartorial, and personal, explaining too how they have shaped menswear today.

The core focus of the book is not only the story of men’s style, but the men who embody it and act as its most inspiring exemplars. A useful book for students of fashion history, followers of celebrity and stylish men alike.

À La Carte. Over one hundred years of menu graphics

Appetite for art? Gastronomy meets graphics in this comprehensive survey of printed restaurant menus. Showcasing some of the best examples of this culinary graphic art, this updated edition serves not only as an extraordinary collection of paper ephemera but also as a history of restaurants and our evolving eating habits.

Until restaurants became commonplace in the late 1800s, printed menus for meals were rare commodities reserved for special occasions. As restaurants proliferated, the menu became more than just a culinary listing: it was an integral part of eating out, a clever marketing tool, and a popular keepsake.

Menu Design is an omnibus showcasing the best examples of this graphic art. Illustrated in vibrant colour, this compact volume not only gathers an extraordinary collection of paper ephemera but serves as a history of restaurants and dining out in America. Featuring both covers and interiors, the menus offer an epicurean tour and insight to more than a hundred years of dining out.

An introduction on the history of menu design by graphic design writer Steven Heller and extended captions by culinary historian John Mariani accompany each piece throughout the book. Various photographs of restaurants round out this compendium that will appeal to anyone who enjoys dining out and its graphic and gastronomic history.

Mad for ads: Advertising for the Space Age Gleaned from thousands of images, this book offers the best of American print advertising in the age of the "Big Idea." From the height of American consumerism, bold and colourful campaigns paint a fascinating portrait of the 1950s and 60s, as concerns about the Cold War gave way to the carefree booze-and-cigarettes capitalism of the Mad Men era.

Digitally remastered for optimum reproduction quality, the ads burst with crisp fonts and colours, as well as a sexy sense of possibility, beguiling their audience to buy everything from guns to girdles, cars to toothpaste, air travel to home appliances. At turns startling, amusing and inspiring, this panorama of mid-century marketing is at once an evocative period piece and a showcase of design innovation and advertising wit.

The mini icons in this book are designed for use on hand-held organisers, such as Palm and other PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). The restrictions dictated by such devices mean that designers must be extremely inventive to produce recognisable images with a minimum of pixels. The resulting designs are of amazing simplicity and must be viewed in small format to be distinguished properly.
