ABRAM GAMES: HIS WARTIME WORK by Naomi Games es (Amberley £16.99, 192 pp)

ARTIST Abram Games once claimed, ‘I wind the spring and the public, in looking at the poster, will have that spring released in its mind.’ Holder of the unique title of Official War Poster Artist and one of Britain’s most influentia­l graphic designers, Games’s work is instantly recognisab­le. This is the first book dedicated solely to his War posters, of which there were hundreds, and is written by his daughter. It is not only totally engrossing about the history of graphic design but shows WWII through a less familiar lens.
