Charley Harper:
An Illustrated Life
AMMO Books is honored to present this
beautiful large format title as the
definitive monograph of artist Charley
Harper's six decade long career. Renowned
New York based designer Todd Oldham
rediscovered Charley's work in 2001, and
collaborated closely with him, combing
through his extensive archive to edit and
design this stunning AMMO Books release.
Charley Harper - An Illustrated Life,
showcases his illustrations that appeared
from 1950-1975 in the Ford Times magazines,
as well as in books such as the beloved
"The Giant Golden Book of Biology" in
1961, "Betty Crocker's Dinner for Two" in
1961, and "The Animal Kingdom" in 1968,
among many others.
His well loved book "Birds and Words",
first published in 1974, is considered a
classic. Remarkably, however, Charley's
work has never before been published in one
complete retrospective. Accordingly, this
massive volume is the definitive Charley
Harper book to have on your bookshelf!
