Consider Elegantissima by Louise Fili.
“Elegantissima is a visually sumptuous walk through Louise Fili’s career, full of high-quality plates of book jackets, restaurant identities and food packaging. What works best is steady visual inspiration: typographic details, color choices and composed spreads that spark design ideas. The main limitation is shallow procedural and critical commentary — readers after hands-on methods, process breakdowns or rigorous historical argument will find the prose spare and the practical guidance minimal. Best used as aesthetic reference rather than a how-to manual.”
