Quick Facts

Chuck's Comments

This isn't a poster book but covers from albums, this book is roughly the size of a 45 picture sleeve. I've included it here because most posters from the era were just the album art blown up.

This book is almost entirely covers, most of them presented as a single page. There are some shrunk down and presented two to a page along with very brief notes about the covers (artist/photographer/designer and year of release). A nice over view of the new wave era, avoiding most of the mainstream acts (ie. no Madonna, Prince, Bruce Springsteen). There's a nice index at the end with all the groups listed so you can find your favorites more easily.
