This book features an amusing collection of signs from around the world. Divided into chapters by type (animals, man, stop, danger, weapons, transport, children, toilets, work, "no!", etc.), the signs demonstrate how different cultures portray the icons with which we are all so familiar. The diverse selection of photographs is accompanied by texts describing the cultural and social significance of signs. You may even learn things from this book that could save your life the next time you travel! "A fantastic collaboration between cool "TASCHEN" and edgy "COLORS". This book shows there is no border between countries, races, art or fashion...". ("Mono Magazine", Tokyo)
