One of the most haunting comics I've ever read. Excellent use of the medium to convey what it must feel like to be adrift in your own world while the real world marches on past you.

It's hard to believe that plane trips were major life events for Western people as recently as fifty years ago. A far cry from the baggage fees, the "food," and security pat-downs we now face when we fly. I loved that the book traced the mystique of flying back to the days of the zeppelin and beyond.It's hard to believe that plane trips were major life events for Western people as recently as fifty years ago.

Here's a book that will make you want to take to the rails! They really don't make travel ads like they used to. These posters make traveling by train seem as much an adventure as the destination itself. It's wonderful to see the names of the artists next to their work. Something about the lush colors and unique style of the artwork makes the locations seem even more enticing than photographs. I wish we had a more extensive train network in this country.Here's a book that will make you want to take to the rails! They really don't make travel ads like they used to.

This book is a fantastic catalog of a true design genius. Wonderful posters and information on Bass' life. I was unaware that he also designed buildings and pavilions for World's Fairs, among other things.
