This reissue of a cult design book, Nova 1965–1975, celebrates one of the crucial influential magazines in history.
 
Referred to as “the thinking girl’s magazine,” the British publication Nova set itself aside from its fashion-focused contemporaries by being politically, socially, and sexually aware. Its groundbreaking design and layout borrowed from the psychedelic subculture and underground press of the day, and Helmut Newton and Don McCullin were among its photographers. It covered controversial issues such as abortion, pedophilia, lesbianism, and the Pill, and used to be some of the first magazines to incorporate black models. And it published writers such as Susan Sontag, Christopher Booker, and Germaine Greer. David Hillman and Harri Peccinotti, the magazine’s Deputy Editor and Art Director, have compiled this collection to showcase the easiest covers and articles from Nova’s decade-long output, and so they be offering their thoughts in detail.
