Spy: The
Funny Years
By Kurt Andersen,
Graydon Carter, and
George Kalogerakis
Miramax Books
20th anniversary celebration of the groundbreaking satirical
magazine. Alex, who at one time was Art Director of the magazine, was excited about having the chance to go through
his basement
and pull out stuff from 20 years before to include in the book.
“[Spy] was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly
designed, and feared by all.”
— Dave Eggers
“If you (a) miss the ironic 1980s and/or (b) are curious about the origins of 75% of the conventions of contemporary magazine design, this amusing book, beautifully designed as you’d expect by Alex Isley, will more than satisfy.”
— Design Observer
