Continuing to delight in the Kromer gift collection! For example, I can now add to the collection The Big Book of New Design Ideas by David E. Carter. Only one other Link+ library has this 2003 edition, and it is presently circulating. This is a lovely book, packed with color illustrations of everything from Annual Reports to Shopping Bags, the pages cleverly color coded! Happily, the gift also includes The Big Book of Design Ideas, which has been overdue since 2004.
I've also been able to add two volumes we were missing of the Best of Brochure Design Series as well as a title by Rick Poynor previously unowned. Also to add: Type by Joyce Rutter Kaye which contains this well written sentence, "Type is the essence of graphic communication." As someone who adores letters and is fascinated by the thousands of fonts available...of course! Handling this collection is giving me the vocabulary to be a more effective searcher.
I have also learned that one must search Typography as a journal title in order to produce the bibliographic record for the annual (the old monographic series conundrum.)
