Just curious to know what everyones first piece of graphic design literature was.
What was the first article, book, or text you read that related to graphic design?

must have been like 13 when I got this from an uncle of mine. He is an architect. Basically one of his studio books from the 70s or 80s on commercial design oriented drawing and sketching.... pre-computer of course.
all the human figures in the book have flared pants and moustaches.
