Posters With a Punch
Steve Heller provides an incisive foreword, setting the stage as only Steve can. "Modern Dog: 20 Years of Poster Art" also contains two interviews with Modern Dog, one by James Victore and another by Rick Valicenti. Together these articles are an excellent appetizer before getting to the main course: the simple and clean presentation of the work.
You can view most of the posters in the book on Modern Dog's web site, but the book includes Robynne and Mike's funny and insightful commentary on each poster, some of their working sketches, and the backstory on a few assignments. That's well worth is price of the book. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll laugh some more. But most importantly, you'll be invigorated by Modern Dog's versatility and determination.
