    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    How does a bookbinder miraculously transform printed sheets into the proud volumes on your bookshelf? Koto Bolofo reveals all this and more in One Love, One Book, his photo-documentation of the worlds of papermaking, printing and bookbinding.

    Bolofo began his visual journey at Hahnemühle Paper Mill, founded in 1584 and today one of the worlds oldest, capturing the combination of artisanal know-how and advanced technology on which Hahnemühles quality is based. His next stop was Göttingen, where he shows an insiders view of how Steidl books are made and their dedication to creating multiples: books as democratic art objects at affordable prices. Bolofo finally traveled to Leipzig to photograph the secrets of bookbinding. Complementing the patient, hushed quality of his pictures are playful texts by Bolofo himself in which his childlike delight at the wonders of bookmaking cannot be repressed.

    It was early in the summer of 2012 that the Wonderful Wizard of Steidlville invited me and my whimsical eye to visit the kingdom of his publishing house at Düstere Strasse 4, to see if I could explore and document the complexity of the labyrinth and really discover How to Make a Book with Steidl. - Koto Bolofo
