that were very similar to others that had already been on the international scene for some time, combined with the idea of mail order, such as the American Book of the Month Club (1926), or the Guilde du Livre in Lausanne (1936).<br>The Club du Livre and the Club du Meilleur Livre were two of the most prolific examples in the dozen or so \u201cbook clubs\u201d that emerged after World War II.<br>These publishing groups, conceived to revive French publishing, changed the concept of modern publishing design forever, and were also established thanks to the work of such outstanding intellectuals, editors, and graphic designers as Pierre Faucheux (1924-1999) and Robert Massin (1925-2020).\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\n\n\t\t<div

The Fund also includes two of Eug\u00e8ne Ionesco&#8217;s masterpieces designed by Massin: \u201cLa Cantatrice Chauve\u201d (Gallimard, 1964) and \u201cD\u00e9lire \u00e0 deux\u201d (Gallimard, 1964).<br><br><strong>Archival Accompanying Tools<\/strong><br>Partial filing<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-posts-list cards-grid no-results-found\" data-count=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"main-column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"no-related-posts\">No related content<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n        <section class=\"qzr-dynamic-blocks black-bkg white-txt block-visit-archive wp-elements-3fabb466737cac0c4222d4b44a60e6c0\" aria-label=\"Visit the Archive\" data-block=\"panel\"   >\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"main-column\">\r\n                \t\t\t\t<div class=\"qzr-dynamic-blocks-panel-content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns columns-pattern-7-columns-text is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20.83%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58.33%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-font-heading-h3-no-decorations\">Visit the Archive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Graphic Design Library and Archive can only be accessed by appointment and a temporary membership.
