o carte rara
prezentad celbra revista de arta fashion si lifestyle care a schimbat anii 60-70: NOVA

First published in 1993 and much sought-after since going out of print, this history of the goundbreaking British magazine Nova has just been republished.

Compiled by former art directors David Hillman and Harri Peccinotti, the large format book is a template for any book about magazine design. It doesn’t make ridiculous claims for its subject, opting instead to let the work speak for itself.

The book proceeds chronologically, each year opening with a news/culture briefing that not only adds historical context but subtley positions Nova as a central part of British life. There’s also a nice intro section highlighting the influences of other magazines: from the US, Henry Wolf’s Esquire and Herb Lubalin’s Eros take their place alongsidesit alongside British titles like Tom Wolsey’s Town and Peter Maxwell’s Queen. Plus of course Twen, the extraordinary German magazine first art directed by Willy Fleckhaus earlier in the sixties.
