“An excellent introduction to graphic design through [the author’s] own excellent work. Anyone interested in the subject, including most practitioners, will find it delightful.”—Milton Glaser Kids love to express themselves, and are designers by nature—whether making posters for school, deciding what to hang in their rooms, or creating personalized notebook covers. Go, by the award-winning graphic designer Chip Kidd, is a stunning introduction to the ways in which a designer communicates his or her ideas to the world. It’s written and designed just for those curious kids, not to mention their savvy parents, who want to learn the secret of how to make things dynamic and interesting. Chip Kidd is “the closest thing to a rock star” in the design world (USA Today), and in Go he explains not just the elements of design, including form, line, color, scale, typography, and more, but most important, how to use those elements in creative ways. Like putting the word “go” on a stop sign, Go is all about shaking things up—and kids will love its playful spirit and belief that the world looks better when you look at it differently. He writes about scale: When a picture looks good small, don’t stop there—see how it looks when it’s really small. Or really big. He explains the difference between vertical lines and horizontal lines. The effect of cropping a picture to make it beautiful—or, cropping it even more to make it mysterious and compelling. How different colors signify different moods. The art of typography, including serifs and sans serifs, kerning and leading. The book ends with ten projects, including an invitation to share your designs at GoTheBook.com.

The novel that launched the Beat Generation's literary legacy describes the world of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Neil Cassady. Drafted two months before Jack Kerouac began On The Road, Go is the first and most accurate chronicle of the private lives lived by the Beats before they became public figures. In honest, lucid fictional prose designed to capture the events, emotions, and essence of his experience among the Beats, Holmes describes an individualistic post-World War II New York where crime is celebrated, writing is revered, and parties, booze, discussions, drugs, and sex punctuate life. The most tentative and conservative of the Beats, Holmes's intelligent and sensitive voice also details the pressures and regrets that his lifestyle gave birth to. With portraits of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neil Cassady, William Burroughs, this first novel about the Beat Generation gives us a peek into what it meant to be a Beat before the term had ever been used. "... still one of the best novels about the Beat Generation ... brilliant and important."-Los Angeles Free Press "I want to write to you about ... your book. You did the honest thing, the big thing, the good thing."-Jack Kerouac "Go signaled the start of something new in American literature. A generation with a new consciousness had found its voice..."-Ann Charters

A Comedy of The AbsurditiesTime Ladies PleaseThe chapter opened with a 17th Century philosopher being bolted from sleep by a “dazzling, unendurable light” that “provided answers to tremendous problems that had been taxing him for weeks.” The dazzling, unendurable light that spontaneously erupted into Descartes’ dreamy consciousness just as quickly and mysteriously disappeared from it forever. Four centuries of scientific research and technological innovation later that sudden and spontaneous eruption from dreamy consciousness is still inspiring answers to tremendous problems. Will a time-traveling qubit of information be our new dazzling, unendurable light blazing a path of discovery before it too? That would be astonishing. What’s more astonishing is that we live in a cosmos in which all of these phenomena occur.-Philosophical Fragments Of Your Ancient NameDoug Bentley“What’s more astonishing is that we live in a cosmos in which all of these phenomena occur.”Aye! Them’s the rubs!And who can be less astonishing than 2 unassuming fools wanderers through life’s little existential mysteries? A pair of paltry, wayward tramps?- time trodders, to be truthful? Who, I ask you? Who?Then I ask you, truly- Who was Shakespeare, really? Was he a man before his time? Or a man beyond time? Four centuries is certainly too long of an absence from any public stage for even a man ahead of his time like Shakespeare to fully state his case. On the other hand, a man beyond time is always present to rest it, isn’t he? 'Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.' Yogi Berra knew. Maybe that’s just because Yogi was a man ahead of his time. Maybe Yogi got it backwards? Maybe time’s not a straight line future forward thing at all? A man beyond time must be everpresent, musn’t he? How can an immortal be absent? That’s anabsurd, impossible assumption. So, time’s simultaneous. Flatlanders need to search Elsewhere for answers to life’s little mysteries? Don’t you agree, Mr Bohr? Thus armed with our new understanding of time, the utterly self-evident, simple proposition that the everpresent existence of the immortal “Mr. W.H.” must be somewhere- I foolishly set forth to find him. The world may need to wait for one quantum bit of confirmation to prove his mettle. Serious readers of GO can gain a literary edge on untying one of Shakespeare’s key existential knots here. Who, after all, IS the mysterious “Mr W.H.”? Shakespeare dedicated his Sonnets to him. He was the only person to whom they were “bequeathed”. The finest series of Sonnets in the English Language? Immortal sonnets. Poems where the words are witching sticks! Now, to any serious reader, the essential triangle in The Sonnets- the young man, dark lady, and poet- are main characters in GO. AZOO, my dark lady, a shamanic princess. She guide. the two idiots through underworld adventures that smash their skulls like eggshells. Only clown WILL can glue their shattered shells together. So, all’s well ends...the comedy of the absurdity of our lives finds humorous resolution! And what if it takes two vagabonds and one shamanic princess to make a global clown? So what? Maybe the moon’s a balloon? How about a clock? Why not? No penny ante playwright like me passes out his best play cards to some poker-face passerby like you there. Yah, you. You want to sit in on this roundtable buy a ticket or get the hell out of this lineup. Checkin’s right.NEXT!To the onlie begetter ofthese insuing sonnetsMr. W.H. all happinesseand that eternitiepromisedbyour everliving poetwisheththe well wishingadventurer insettingforthT.T.What’s the point if yah can't even laugh?
