'All the heroes of British music graphics are here, including Hipgnosis, Barney Bubbles, Michael Garrett and Peter Saville. Caution: the psychedelic green-orange DayGlo cover is as eye-watering as a protracted guitar solo.'
Bookseller
'This is a truly wonderful book
for anybody who's ever looked
at an album sleeve or advert
and thought, maybe even unconsciously, how great it not only sounds but looks. Designs like these are the mark of genius - and sadly these days, there's
far too little of that around.'

'e is a delicious candy necklace of a book, with textured pills on the glossy black cover, blazing yellow sunbursts featuring first-person “serotonin stories”, good pictures, and pages devoted to quotes from Keith Haring, George Michael, and former drug czar Barry McCaffrey. My friends were jealous that I had it, and I had to hide it in my bag at dinners.'
