Description

Vivus develops treatments for erectile dysfunction, more commonly known as impotence. Although this annual report contains primarily a straightforward business message, the use of bold diagrams, large oblique type, and a stiff hard cover hint at the end result of using their product. A cautionary cover band is a slight allusion to the explicit material contained in the book.
