The first book of its kind - a car book like no other - offering a
deeply nostalgic look at beautiful vintage cars through the superb
literature, leaflets and pamphlets that sold them to us. Auto
Erotica covers the gamut of motoring in Britain during the 1960s,
1970s and 1980s. These rare ephemeral booklets are full of unusual
graphic ideas and concepts. Their fabulous photography, dazzling
colour charts, daring typography, strange fold outs and inspiring
styles symbolise the automobile aspirations of generations of
Britons. The book is also packed full of era-defining classic cars,
from those we love to those you can't remember. Expect fast Fords,
the XJS, the TR8, MGs, minis, Maxis, Renaults, Beemers, VWs, Vivas,
Citroens, DeLoreans and a whole lot more - amazing motors from the
past and even some from the future - as you've never seen them
before.
Chosen as one of the Best Architecture and Design books Summer 2022
by the Financial Times. Why British record store carrier bags are
graphic design icons: While they've never carried the kudos of
sleeve designs and music posters, record shop bags offer a
fascinating insight into 20th century British music culture,
high-streets and more. - Creative Review Jonny Trunk's extensive
collection of record shop bags weaves together a less conventional
history of British music, celebrating the shops where musicians and
fans bought and sold their first LPs. This book is a love letter to
these forgotten spaces, accompanied by a juicy selection of
anecdotes and little known facts about the record shops and their
bags. Readers, gear up for a "brilliant ride down the old British
high streets and low streets too." - It's Nice That Jonny Trunk and
FUEL present A-Z of Record Shop Bags - a publication celebrating
the humble record store bag. This exhaustive collection of the
record shop bag provides a unique perspective of record shopping in
the UK over the last century, bringing together over 500 incredible
bags (some possibly the only surviving examples) to document the
fascinating story of British high street record shopping. Bags from
famous chains such as NEMS, Our Price and Virgin (the amazingly
rare Roger Dean bags), sit alongside designs from local shops run
by eccentric enthusiasts. Packed with stories such as the first
Jewish ska retailer, the record sellers who started the premier
league, famous staff (David Bowie, Dusty Springfield, Morrissey,
etc.) and equally infamous owners, these anecdotes of mythical
vinyl entrepreneurs will entertain and delight. With vinyl record
sales at their highest ever for decades (outselling CDs in the US),
this publication acts as an amazing insight into the history,
culture and visual language of record collecting. Following Own
Label, Wrappers Delight and Auto Erotica - A-Z of Record Shop Bags:
1940s to 1990s is the next book in the series by Jonny Trunk and
FUEL, examining overlooked aspects of our collective past.
A new expanded edition of this must-have book for all graphic
designers In 1962, when Peter Dixon joined the Sainsbury's Design
Studio, a remarkable revolution in packaging design began. The
supermarket was developing its distinctive range of Own Label
products, and Dixon's designs for the line were revolutionary:
simple, stripped down, creative, and completely different from what
had gone before. Their striking modernity pushed the boundaries,
reflecting a period full of optimism. They also helped build
Sainsbury's into a brand giant, the first real 'Super' market of
the time. This book examines and celebrates this paradigm shift
that redefined packaging design, and led to the creation of some of
the most original packaging ever seen. Produced in collaboration
with the Sainsbury family and The Sainsbury Archive, the book
reveals an astonishing and exhaustive body of work. A unique
insight into what and how we ate, the packaging is presented using
both scanned original flat packets and photographic records made at
the time by the design team. An essential book for graphic
designers and those interested in the culture of consumerism, these
designs remain fresh and relevant today. This feast of nostalgia
taps into the fond memories of a generation brought up on these
beautifully packaged goods.

A nostalgia trip through the sweet wrappers of our childhoods: a
massive, magical blast from our pasts – all in one beautiful
graphic book This is a very exciting book crammed full of the
sweetest memories of all – a favourite gum, those addictive
chews, that sparkling drink you can’t remember the name of, those
stickers you collected and of course your lolly of choice (until
they stopped making it). Think Cider Barrel, Cresta, Tip Top,
Pacemakers, Lollygobblechocbomb, Kung Fueys, Fizz Bang, UFO sweet
cigarettes and loads of other TV tie-ins, Furry Friends and even
Fingammies! And then there are the treats you’ll only recall when
you see the packaging for the first time in decades. Wrappers
Delight catalogues the amazing, lifetime collection of John
Townsend, a man who collected the most disposable of wrappers:
sweet cigarette boxes, wax gum papers, empty bags of crisps, drink
cans, rock labels, stamps, transfers, coupons, recipe cards,
tickets, odd boxes, badges, cards, stickers ... and more. All these
items have been carefully documented and reproduced here in the
highest quality. Presented in alphabetical order by manufacturer,
and with over 500 full colour examples, this book is the first and
only overview of the drinks and confectionary industry during this
period
