Marcial Posted November 30, 2019 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) “I do books because it’s a nice way to look at my pictures" Lee Friedlander. Pretty much expresses my motivation for becoming a bookmaker. I’ve been thinking about it for decades. Thanks to the latest generation of printers, mine being an Epson SureColor P800 and ImagePrint, printing and layout are WYSIWYG and readily achievable in the 1:2 height to width ratio required to make sheets which can then be organized to signatures and then bound into bookcase. Like any endeavor, bookmaking can be as easy or difficult as you want to make it. The links to the long story on how I went about it are: https://smortegav.blogspot.com/2019/11/leica-akademie-workshops-photography_41.html https://smortegav.blogspot.com/2019/11/bookbinding-presses.html https://smortegav.blogspot.com/2019/11/bookbinding-presses.html Welcome, dear visitor!

The soft cover book minus the coil binding is my first book done for a college class back in 1976. Thomas Dugan's book is where the Friedlander quote was found. Published in 1979, it's still quite relevant. Ralph Gibson is one of the photographers interviewed. I came across it while reading up on Gibson after getting the Leica Akademie post in my email. In trying to figure out where to best post this, I came across https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/281486-photobook-publishing-and-its-discontents which has quite a bit of updated content on photobooks. That led to Jorg Colberg's work and ordering his Understanding Photobooks. M. Alland's book looks very interesting as well.
