London: Thames & Hudson, 2000. Heavy 4to hardcover with somewhat worn but protected jacket. 240 pages, richly illustrated.

First published on the occasion of the exhibition, "Print, power and persuasion: graphic design in Germany 1890-1945", presented at The Wolfsonian-Florida International University, 27 September 2000. German graphic and typographic design in the first half of the twentieth century represents an extraordinarily rich and diverse aspect of the history of visual culture. It marks the moment of recognition that the world was becoming increasingly dependent on a modern and commercialized system of communication in which the designer was to play a major role. An unprecedented scale of attention was devoted to printed matter, whether as designs for graphic ornament, typefaces and logos in books and advertisements, or magazines, posters, signage, and exhibitions. Jeremy Aynsley has written the first account in English of the emergence of German graphic design between 1890 and 1945. Based on many years of research and original material, this handsome book is lavishly illustrated with examples from across a stylistically varied field. There were many good reasons for Germany to lead in the field of print culture. Historically it was a country that had been associated since the Middle Ages with the arts of the book and printing, and many of the new design developments in the twentieth century grew from that base. The spectacular industrial and commercial boom following the Franco-Prussian War, when the Germans became world competitors, stimulated interest in the field of advertising, whether in newspapers, journals, or on sidewalk kiosks. Perhaps borrowing in the beginning from the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain, Art Nouveau in France, and the advanced advertising designers in the U.S., the German artists soon developed a style of their own that was aggressive, aesthetically adventurous, and well constructed to attract customers. While some of the individual designers such as Peter Behrens, Lucian Bernhard, Jan Tschichold, Herbert Bayer, and John Heartfield are well known, many others have not received such attention. Aynsley provides an amazingly well-rounded picture of this burst of innovation that changed the face of modern life, as well as of the politically and socially turbulent era that spawned it."

Particular Books, 2014. Large 8vo softcover. 514 pp. Fine clean very good copy. Women in Clothes is a book unlike any other. It is essentially a conversation among hundreds of women of all nationalities - famous, anonymous, religious, secular, married, single, young, old -, on the subject of clothing, and how the garments we put on every day define and shape our lives. It began with a survey. The editors composed a list of more than fifty questions designed to prompt women to think more deeply about their personal style. Writers, activists, and artists including Cindy Sherman, Kim Gordon, Kalpona Akter, Sarah Nicole Prickett, Tavi Gevinson, Miranda July, Roxane Gay, Lena Dunham, and Molly Ringwald answered these questions with photographs, interviews, personal testimonies, and illustrations.Even our most basic clothing choices can give us confidence, show the connection between our appearance and our habits of mind, express our values and our politics, bond us with our friends, or function as armor or disguise. They are the tools we use to reinvent ourselves and to transform how others see us. Women in Clothes embraces the complexity of women’s style decisions, revealing the sometimes funny, sometimes strange, always thoughtful impulses that influence our daily ritual of getting dressed.

Gyldendal, 1948. 161 pp. Hft. Med dedikation til "Pips" fra "Pheno", som må være forfatterinden selv. "Grete Bendix var datter af komponisten, professor Victor Emanuel Bendix og Dagmar Hansine Raven (født Lebrecht) var elev af Adam Poulsen, August Liebman og Soffy Walleen - og debuterede som skuespillerinde på Det ny Teater med titelrollen i Svend Rindoms "Wienerbarnet" den 16. marts 1923. Rollen, der var som skabt til hende skulle på en næsten skæbnesvanger måde blive hendes største succes. Erindringsbogen "Lykkelige Barndom" er skrevet ud fra barnets perspektiv og sprog.
