A vibrant calendar celebrating the work of cover designer Val Biro (1921-2014), Hungarian emigré and probably the most prolific designer of hard-back book-wrappers in post-war British publishing. A dazzling glimpse into the versatility and talent of an artist/illustrator from the Heroic Age - a generation born after the turn of the twentieth century formed by the experience of the Second World War who produced work in a flourishing publishing market before becoming increasingly supplanted by the widespread use of photography.
