Eight decades of Sony, told through landmark products, defining visuals, and the moments that changed how the company presented itself to the world.
Inside the book.
Each entry centers on a key moment in Sony’s evolution: a new capability, a shift in confidence, a category breakthrough, or an idea the company wanted to make its own.
This is still a visual collector’s book. Product imagery, advertising, printed material, typography, and layout are all part of the experience, with writing that guides the reader without overpowering the visuals.
Like the previous Obsolete Sony books, Sony 80 is being made with careful design, high-quality production, and a collector’s eye for detail, so it feels beautiful to browse and worth keeping.
