Counter-Blast by Marshall McLuhan. Designed by Harley Parker.
McClelland and Stewart, 1969. First Canadian edition. Cloth, dj, octavo, 143 pp., illustrated throughout in black, purple, and pink. Jacket is clipped with small loss at upper front corner. Book is very good.
This expanded edition of McLuhan's original photocopied manifesto is a graphic designer's dream of a nightmare. We know nearly nothing of Harley Parker, except for his work with fellow Canadian McLuhan, but there's an awesome onslaught of typography here that matches Marshall's energy. Such a complete work of synergy.
