Since the book shows many historical examples I was provided with boxes full of books from which I had to take images. At Colour & Books I’m well equipped with scanners for various source materials. Wether I need to scan from books, drawings, prints, negatives in which ever size, we have a hi res scanner that fits the job best.

After having tuned all those scans for high quality output the printing it self was quite straight forward. Organising all the files for this book was more of a challenge. As was the binding. The book is not a regular flexibound book in which the cover is made of a 250grs carton that is laminated and folded double on the sides. Instead the cover is made of 1 mm thin boards that are wrapped in an Orange Milskin cover material. This is a very delicate cover to produce. Without the right attention to the fabrication process it might easily end up warped since it is so thin.
