A revised and enlarged edition of 'Biography in Books' (2010), listing the highlights from the work of one of the world's best-known book designers. It contains a survey in words and pictures of her design practice from 1986 to 2010. In addition to books, also company identities, stamps and posters are featured. This edition, with a slightly larger size and more pages, is still as special and desirable as the original one.
