Dear Victor Congratulations for the success of this massive effort of publishing World History of Design. I will surely get my copy immediately. I look forward to having it at hand. http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/world-history-of-design-9781472569288/ It is wonderful to see the massive gaps in design knowledge being filled by such scholarship and i look forward to the arrival of volume three in due course. Prof Kirti Trivedi, formerly of the IDC IIT Mumbai has facilitated the production of "Letterforms and Design in Asia" in India. It is the English translation of Prof Kohei Sugiura's book of conversations with six Asian designers, and the first book of Prof Sugiura to be available in English. Prof Trivedi's publishing venture ADARG recently published it in association with Marg Publications, Mumbai. This gives us for the first time a rare glimpse into the last few decades of Asian Design and the philosophy of design in Asia through the sensitive eyes of the former Professor from HfG Ulm who returned to Japan to work untiringly on Asian design sensibilities and created a enormous body of published work in Japanese language. http://www.marg-art.org/p/679/books-letterforms-and-design-in-asia With warm regards M P Ranjan From my iPad at IICD Jaipur on tour 11 March 2015 at 4.15 am IST Prof M P Ranjan Independent Academic, Ahmedabad Adjunct Professor (Design) Ahmedabad University Author of blog : http://www.designforindia.com Archive of papers : http://cept.academia.edu/RanjanMP Sent from my iPad On 10-Mar-2015, at 6:55 pm, Margolin Victor <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Bloomsbury has just published the first two volumes of my three-volume World History of Design. These volumes cover the history of what became product design and graphic design throughout the world from the earliest tool-users to the end of World War II. Volume 3 will address the period from 1945 to the present. Information about purchasing copies can be obtained from the Bloomsbury website http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/world-history-of-design-9781472569288/. Please note that the books are expensive due to the size of the text (c. 1500 pages), the large number of illustrations (c. 1,000), and the lengthy time involved in the picture research and editing process.
