Grid Systems in Graphic Design: A Visual Communication Manual for Graphic Designers, Typographers and Three Dimensional Designers
As close to the source as you can get. Written by the master himself. This book sets the outline for the grid system theory on which the Swiss International Style is based. Although most of the practical examples given in the book have to be seen through the eyes of the available technology of the day, the Grid System design is however, as current as ever. The timelessness of it is supported by a solid philosophical foundation evolved from the Bauhaus and De Stijl.
Josef Müller-Brockmann, was a Swiss graphic designer and teacher. He studied architecture, design and history of art at both the University and Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich. Wikipedia
