How to See: A Guide to Reading Our Manmade Environment

First softcover edition, Little, Brown and Company, 1977, illustrated throughout in b/w, square 4to, 8 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches, 233 pages. Polymath George Nelson made his mark in architecture, industrial design, graphic design, but of his many talents, it is his writing skills that go under appreciated. "How To See" is the perfect primer for the uninitiated; more than a guide to visual appreciation, this is a book about how to recognize, evaluate, and understand the objects and landscape of the man-made world around us.
