Standards Manual is the New York–based publishing imprint founded in 2014 by designers Jesse Reed and Hamish Smyth, dedicated to rescuing and reprinting the icons of design history. From legendary graphics standards manuals to visual archives you didn’t know you needed, their books are catnip for design lovers. Our founder has had them on her shelves for years, proof that these volumes aren’t just references—they’re inspiration on repeat.
