Hopefully everyone who reads this blog saw fellow designer
Justin Kay's thorough documentation of the incredible
Herb Lubalin Archives at Cooper Union in NYC. If you haven't, I can't recommend it enough. Justin spent several hours sifting through posters, books, and even original sketches from the man who I consider to be the greatest contemporary graphic designer and typographer.
He was kind enough to save a few photographs for this exclusive post on So Much Pileup, so make sure to visit his site and leave a comment here thanking him!
