P.I.E. Books publishes lavish and dynamic limited edition books for creators. Each P.I.E. title (the acronym stands for pretty, impressive and entertaining) can be used as a reference book for inspiration for those in the visual aesthetic fields. "New Typographics 2" is a stunning example of their hard to source back catalog, containing hundreds of color reproductions of advertising, posters, magazine art, brochures and catalogs. Each example, some full page, includes a brief description, making this book not only a source for ideas but a bibliography. A wonderfully written introduction by five designers on the art of typography is translated into Japanese, English and German. Beautiful and hard to find.
