U&lc magazine (Upper & lower case) was a defining voice in international graphic design between 1973 and 1999. It was in some ways a lifestyle magazine for the design community - providing a fascinating intersection of popular culture and graphic design in the last quarter of the 20th century.The list of editorial contributors to U&lc is long, beginning with founding designer/editor Herb Lubalin; many prominent designers worked on designing entire issues. Their finest work is showcased in this book, in reproductions of selected covers, stories, and illustrations from the nearly 100 quarterly issues that were published. The book leads off with a number of articles about the phenomenon that was U&lc, written by writers, editors, and designers who were closely involved over the years.

"Published in collaboration with Association Typographique Internationale (ATypI), the 365typo annual features stories by the best writers in the field from all over the world, from Tokyo to San Francisco (via Barcelona, The Hague, Hong Kong, Melbourne, New York, Paris, Reading, Tehran and much more)."--Cover.

Bibliophilie in ihrer bescheidensten Form: Ein kleines Heft, wertiges Papier, durchgefärbter roter Umschlagkarton, Fadenknotenheftung mit rotem Faden. Buchstabendetails angeschnitten und fein angerichtet auf den Doppelseiten. Gute Gedanken zur Gestaltung daneben. Genügend Raum für Skizzen und Notizen. Genügend Weißraum alternativ, um Projektionsfläche für Ihre Gestaltergedanken zu bieten. Unscheinbar auf den ersten Blick, bezaubernd auf den zweiten. Manchmal sind es die Kleinigkeiten am Wegrand des Kreativalltags, die es zu entdecken lohnt. Und manchmal ist ein feines rotes Heft mehr wert als eine rote Rose.
