Is Anyone Taking Any Notice? is based on Don McCullin's The Destruction Business (1971), designed by Muriel Cooper, the first Design and Media director for MIT Press, who co-founded the Visual Language Workshop in MIT's Department of Architecture and was later a founding faculty member of the MIT Media Lab, where she mentored some of the designers who have shaped contemporary digital design.

Here, she pairs McCullin's reportage photography, much of which was from the Vietnam War, with a text by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. It opens with a note stating:

'Throughout this book space has been used as punctuation

Phrases in lightface have been drawn from taped interviews with Donald McCullin

Phrases in boldface have been drawn from Alexander Solzhenitsyn's [1972] Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech'.

First edition; oblong 4to (305 x 279 mm, 12 x 11 in); black-and-white photographs printed in offset, light toning to edges; photo-illustrated paper-covered boards, starting at head, minor rubbing to head and foot of spine and tips, photo-illustrated dust-jacket, minor wear, very good in near-fine dust-jacket; [176]pp.
