Not completely sure of the details but I am assuming it’s this book: "Henrion, F.H.K. Top Graphic Design, ABC Edition, Zurich 1983."

A nice plate from Owen Jone’s 1856 "The Grammar of Ornament".  I really like this original version best; I have the new version which is not quite as vibrant.  I hear there is a "professional artist" edition on CD-ROM which is supposed to be truer to the original.

Some random shots of the Stanley Kubrick Archive book. The cover is set in ITC Avant Garde Gothic Alternates.

Here’s another version of the CBC Annual Report that I posted on a while back. I like the colors of this one more and the nice border and info panel add to the poster vibe.  Not sure which is more loyal to the original, but as I said in the original post, I thought a more muted palette would serve it well, and here it is.

Not a lot of info on this one.  Looks like Trade Gothic Bold Extended for the logo, very nice.

World of Logotypes book by Al Cooper. Great 3 color and a lot of those logos are classics for sure.

Update: Some great scans from the book and more info are here.
