Basic Pleasure Model

This is a new book from photographer Rick Pushinsky, which is actually being launched this week - he'll be giving a short talk this Saturday about the book at the Unseen Book Market in Amsterdam, which is the event for self published books.

The size of the book is 320x240mm, portrait and the cover is produced on our SUMO, black 3mm thick. It is silkscreened in white and the image is printed on paper which is mounted into a debossed panel on the front cover.

Back cover...

The finishing requires a special mention. It has an "open" section sewn binding. This is where the book is finished as a conventional section sewn block but glue is applied without the "text block" being placed into a cover. Some people call this "Coptic binding" but I'm not sure that is really the correct term. It works brilliantly with the Sumo, heavy board

Design is Bernd Grether. Printing is by Kopa in Lithuania.
