Cuba Style: Graphics from the Golden Age of Design

I like the history and the layout

I haven't finished it and I can say that this book is a "must have", this images are worth not a thousand words but a million words (any Cuban could give you a million words speech in a matter of five minutes), this book is going to solve me just that, whenever somebody would ask me questions about Cuba before Castro, all I have to do is show them this book. This book will show you exactly what Graphics and Arts, in general, were before Castro, not the political propaganda that it became after the revolution-take as an example the image of Murder, Che Guevara, shown all over Cuba promising you "Victory"-. For some, this book will bring back memories and nostalgia, for others like me, born and raised during the communist period, a confirmation that things were a lot better, not perfect, not the paradise they proclaimed it was, simply the place to be, it was for most Cubans the place to be born Cuban and die Cuban.

Everything Cuba is interesting to me, so this is just one more piece of the crazy pre-revolution puzzle.Excellent reference book and give's you a great snapshot of Cuba BC (before castro) and begs the question: what are they thinking!Not much if any of this exists at all in modern Cuban society, on the island anyway.

Lovely advertising images of a Cuba that no longer exists.

beautiful images

Great book!

Like anything by Steven Heller, there's tons of amazing imagery in this book. Great for the price! Fun & exotic!

Ahhh, nostalgia. Nothing but that. Excellent, outstanding...
