A conversation with a friend over coveted design books on IM yesterday grew into an hour long exchanging of links. From Herb Lubalin to the RAC design guideline, the past three decades has produced some of the most coveted design tomes, but none have been more sought after than Mode en Module. Published in 1997, this monograph covers the career of Dutch design master Wim Crouwel. The cover price was € 29.50 at the time of its release. Well the book has resurfaced on Amazon from an independent seller pricing this bad boy at $1,310.52. You missed the opportunity the first time around because the print run was so low, you’ll miss it this time around because you need to pay rent.
