Doesn't Live Up.......2007-09-26
I am a fan of great typography, and within this annual series I have seen some beautiful work presented in a beautiful book. Typography 24 and 26 stand out as great examples, while this book, 27, just doesn't cut it.
Let's begin with the book's cover. It is a photograph of a lowercase x in some black didot with a cheesy reflection and almost no sense of design or attention to detail to be found. This isn't a beautiful typeface to photograph even. It looks like the work of a first-year typography student learning the history of typesetting.
The work inside is beautiful, yet my attention was constantly drawn to the credits which look like pages from a bad early 90s design magazine, and its divider pages I won't even begin to discuss as I might get so angry as to smash my fist through my iMac.
I don't know what happened since last year, but this book isn't the proud piece of design work that I would like to put on my coffee table for people to actually see. Maybe when Typography 28 comes out in a few months we'll have a book worth recommending.
Typography 27.......2007-05-10
A 'must have' for the professional Graphic Designer. Perhaps not the best edition, with a little too much Student work, but when you want to free the mind and flip through something that feels like NOW, The Type Directors Club Annual always does the the trick!
Great work as usual.......2007-01-10
This 27th annual from the Type Director's Club does a great job selecting the best of the best in typographic designs. It's chock full of various pieces from calendars, journals, magazine spreads to student work. The annual can use some organizing. It does a great job displaying all of the winners. However, it doesn't do a good job in dividing works into catagories. Otherwise the work is top notch!

Without a doubt - The bible of advertising.......2007-06-09
If you've always wondered whether advertising is the carreer for you,
take a look at what's inside this book.
If it turns you on - you're probably have 50% of what it takes to be a creative advertiser.
If you think "Hey, It's all nice but I can do better" - Send your CV ASAP.
It's the "How to do" Art directors' guide. The "Playboy" of copywriters. The Carrot for the donkeys creative teams worldwide.
If you wanna buy one ad book - Get this one. It should suffice.
One thing, though - In past One Show Annuals the book came along with CDs conatining awarded movies, radios and Interactive works.
The CD that is enclosed to this issue contains only awarded radio files. a pity.

Customer Reviews:
Nice Vintage Pictures.......2007-07-10
I actually got to walk out on this course. The Augusta National Golf Club grounds crew (a relative of mine worked there) get to play the course one day a year, on "Play Day" in May. I was the lucky guest of my relative.
No picture book or video can do this course justice. You actually have to be there to see how big and "wavy" some of the hills and greens are. Anyway, this book has a lot of good photos, like the one with Bobby Jones and company standing near what today is the 12th hole. I also like the original hole illustrations set next to illustrations of what the holes look like today.
This is a great book to add to your Masters Collection.
An excellent read with amazing pictures........2006-03-19
This book was an excellent choice for serious golfers. People who love the game of golf love the Augusta National Golf Course and the Masters. The pictures of the holes and of the course make you feel like you are there. You can feel its beauty. It is a geat book to give as a gift.
The star of the Masters: the course.......2005-08-31
Watching the Masters on TV, it is difficult to get a good idea of what the players face. We get overviews of the hole, words of wisdom from past champions, but rarely do we get to look over the holes in any luxury.
Even rarer is a look into how the course has evolved since it first hosted the Augusta National Invitational in 1934. Interestingly, there are holes that have not been touched. Others have gone through some modification, but it is amazing how much of the original design has held up over the years.
This is all revealed between the covers of this wonderful volume. Included are notes on famous Masters moments, but by far the information on the course, its construction, and alterations are of greater value.
If you plan on watching the Masters next year, pick up a copy and have it on hand while you watch. It will make watching the greatest rove over Augusta National that much more a delight.
Rare images of the original course from 1934!!!!.......2005-04-03
This is the most unique book ever done on the Augusta National. The Author, Stan Byrdy, is a local historian and broadcaster, and an Augusta insider! This is an oversized, coffee table, book. It provides amazing historical information and Masters stories, but the best thing about it is the vintage photographs of each of The National's original holes. The book also has yardage-book-style drawings of each original hole (circa 1934), and the modern-day hole -- so you can make side-by-side comaprisons of how each hole has changed over time. The complete architectural history of each hole is also provided!
This is a very important book for the golf fan, and a must-have for everyone interested in the Masters, or the Augusta National Golf Club, Bobby Jones, and Alister MacKenzie.

Bountiful information - the best we've found........1999-08-01
This edition includes hundreds of photographs/illustrations/period advertisements/commentary, many in color. The photographs are excellent, the text extremely well done. With this enjoyable read, you will save yourself much research and hunting. We utilize it as a resource guide. Joy Melcher, editor-in-chief Civil War Lady Magazine.
Book Description
The sequel to the highly successful and critically praised book, Bar and Club Design, New Bar and Club Design is an elegant photographic journey through the latest international design trends in the bar and club industries, highlighting bars and clubs completed since 2001.
There has been a resurgence of cocktail culture and an explosion of the "style bar," places that are professionally designed and serve high quality spirits, wine, and cocktails. Such bars have continued to open in cities such as New York, London, and Tokyo, but also in Beirut and Bangkok. Another strong trend in bar and club design, documented here, is a interest in creating lower budget designer bars that are as visually interesting and unusually designed as the big budget productions, such as Andy Wahloo in Paris and Loungelover in London. Likewise, club culture continues to thrive, albeit on a far smaller scale than the superclubs of the 1990s. Nightclubs have grown cozier, late night lounge bars have emerged to cater to the "grown-up clubber," offering comfort and luxury rather than an empty shell in which to dance. The futuristic "superclubs" still being built now offer the very latest in technology and audiovisual entertainment.
This book explores the design zeitgeist of drinking and dancing culture worldwide. Divided by category into bars, restaurant bars, hotel bars, and clubs, each profile includes imaginative photographs, thoughtful descriptions, and architectural plans of the design. The innovative, sleek photographs allow the reader to enter into the ambience of each bar and experience its atmosphere. Sure to be an excellent guide for bar and club owners, architects and designers, as well as a sourcebook for new design inspirations, New Bar and Club Design will be appealing to travelers, night-lifers and design-lovers of every description.

Unique Approach.......2007-08-11
This book is a classy edition to library of any nightclub industry professional and to anyone who enjoys fine design.
A sequel to "Bar and Club Design", a book I have not had the opportunity to view, this second book is reminiscent of the popular photograph books published with works of famous photographers. It is physically weighted, an unusual, square shape with high quality glossy pages. The book is divided by chapters that categorize the types of bars. Starting with bars, the book leads into restaurant bars, hotel bars, and clubs.
It visually captures fifty of the worlds most beautifully designed bars and clubs with detailed text descriptions that tell a story of their own. There are several floor plans that show the uniqueness of each of these clubs, beyond the photograph. Ryder, the books author, is a journalist from London specializing in lifestyle topics and interior design. This explains why each image in the book appears a true work of art.
Visit Coconclub in Moscow, Russia which is described as a "giant termite mound" by the author and as a "four level biomorphic formation like a mountain peppered with caves, suddenly put inside a building with a an eclectic façade" by its architects. The images that follow are an amazing feat of architecture and artwork weaved together.
See how Hajime in Tokyo, Japan has maximized the appearance of a small square footage area using some illumination and shadowing to create the illusion of a much larger space. Or the 2 million dollar color changing XL club in New York. The ideas, creativity and beauty seems endless.
This is a pleasant read and even more pleasant just to thumb through and enjoy the photographic art that it contains. If you own a bar or club, let it inspire you to make changes and differentiate your bar from others. If you just enjoy the nightlife, know that there are fascinating places you can spend your time.

Great BOOK !!!.......2007-04-29
If you want to know more about architecture in the Caribbean, you have to read this book!
Caribbean Elegance.......2007-04-11
Through his work at la Marina, Casa de Campo, Gian Franco Fini captures the essence of refined architecture with a perfect air of Caribbean elegance.
A place to visit before you dies........2007-04-10
This is a book about one of those magical places that once you get there you don't want to leave. It's in the path of boats coming from Miami to the West Indies and is the place to see in the Caribbean before you die. Casa de Campo is the Caribbean most complete resort by far where any possible hobby in the world could practiced at world renowned conditions -besides skiing, except if you change it for water-sky-. The book about the Casa de Campo's Marina is definitely a 5 start in class, quality and content. This is the real thing in Caribbean Elegance and Luxury where you'll be able to find some of the most exclusive houses in the region.
The Best Keep Secret in the Caribbean unveils........2007-03-02
This is the only book available about Marinas from an architectural standpoint. Blueprints, sketches and more than 300 full-color pictures are a never ending source for one of the most luxurious approach to Caribbean Architecture. It's about the renowned Marina at Casa de Campo, La Romana, Dominican Republic and is a must for anyone willing see from the inside out as many options as possible to recreate a tropical paradise despite if it's and apartment or a houses under 2,000 sqf or a masterpiece above 20,000 sqf.
In contrast with W.R. Blain's book for "Marina Developments" -That is an excellent and maybe the only book about Marinas from a structural standpoint- this one is an architectural approach to Marinas and all the elements around it such as Yacht Club, Apartments, Houses, Restaurants and all related services. It's full of details and references in a text that is catchy and easy to read. My only concern was that I thought it was pricy in the first place despite that it was printed and bounded in Italy, but Blain's book is above the $250 and this one is more related to interior design and architecture so it's worth 5 out 5 starts.

Beautifully Photographed Idea Book.......2006-01-19
With the increasing understanding of the importance of exercise, has also come the understanding that the old fashioned gym like Rocky might have used, upstairs over the pool hall, has given way to places designed to attract the upper scale clientelle of today.
Ms. Castillo has carefully collected a set of photographs of newly built spa and health clubs from around the world. Literally from all over the world: Australia, Vienna, Canada, China, all over Europe. These spa's represent what the best architects are doing in this area. The book is an idea book for people interested in the area. This would include no only architects, but people like hotel management, spa operators, or even the home owner looking to put in his own unit.
For me two points really stand out in these designs:
1. The integration of the new, almost exoctic spa into a standard hotel design, or perhaps fit into an existing building of any age or architecture.
2. The large use of water. This can be swiming pools, fountains, hot tubs or whatever. It seems that water is an integral part of the new spa.
Beautiful photographs carefully selected to illustrate what can be done.
