"A groundbreaking mission to find out what beauty is, how we perceive it, and the many ways it impacts our lives... [A] striking publication... Will stand as a lasting manifesto for their ambitious project."-- New Design "With an elegant slipcase, innovative graphics and page after page of stunning imagery, this is a book you can judge by its cover."-- Bookpage "A case study in beautiful design... [with] lively writing and unexpected narrative turns."-- AIGA - Eye on Design "Sagmeister and Walsh re-establish the definition of the word beauty and separate it from the negative connotations that have been misapplied to beautiful things; they trace not just the origins of beauty, but the evolution of its place in our world, from pre-civilization to today."-- AIGA Eye on Design "A book that is equal parts history, analysis, and visual splendor."-- Artsy "The book [...] is able to go into greater historical and anecdotal detail, while travelling even more widely in its provocative "Beauty Archive" section... A stylishly entertaining project."-- Crafts "Let the world howl till it's blue in the face. Stefan Sagmeister and Jessica Walsh have created quite a beaute with Beauty . In an era when humanity's old truths have been challenged by irony and kitsch, when cynicism has nearly rendered beauty obsolete, it's reassuring to find shameless devotees to classic ideals... Adorned in glorious trappings... Sagmeister and Walsh prove tangibly, convincingly, that beauty lies deeper than blemish-free skin. Beauty's testimonies are uncontested; its devotees zealous."-- PopMatters, "A groundbreaking mission to find out what beauty is, how we perceive it, and the many ways it impacts our lives...

Seller feedback (1,053,863)
- r***r (2959)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (13)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
