After the success of Manuals 1 published in 2014, Unit Editions is back with this second volume published in limited edition, compiling reproductions of 20 corporate identity manuals from the biggest American and European companies of the 20th century. These include IBM, Westinghouse, Canadian National Railways (CN), PTT, the Montreal Olympics and the Dutch police, all designed by great graphic designers such as Lester Beall (USA), Paul Rand (USA), Total Design (NL), Alan Fletcher (UK) and many others.

Through photographs, precise descriptions and a spacious layout, this book highlights these manuals above all as editorial and graphic objects in an era of dematerialisation and digital format.
