Ed Fella: A Life in Images includes a wide selection from his 60 years of work across, effectively, his two careers. A 316pp visual essay forms the centrepiece of the book. Designed by Fella in his own inimitable style, this is a visual history of a remarkable life in images, as told by the man himself. This section contains a wide range of Fella's artworks, sketchbook pages and collages; examples from various illustration and print ad commissions; Polaroids and photographs; alongside many of his instantly-recognisable type-based flyers. The book also features an introduction by Katherine McCoy; essays by Lorraine Wild, Rick Poynor and David Cabianca - focusing on Fella's long career, his extensive sketchbook work and his flyers, respectively - and an Afterword by his daughter, Andrea Fella.
