Compact Disc: Packaging and Graphics

4to. Pictorial laminated wrappers. A fine copy. *** CD’s have a bad reputation when it comes to packaging and design in comparison to vinyl records. This is one of very few books dedicated to packaging of CDs. It was written at a time when streaming and the recurrence of vinyl was a couple of decades away and the CD seemed to be the music carrier of the future. It beautifully captures the relatively short reign of the CD. ‘Many of the pieces included are rare items, featured here to make such excellence in design available to more than just a few.’
