Instead of selling a wide mix of titles, the shop regularly changes its entire stock to focus on one publisher at a time. This lets visitors see a publisher's work as a whole: its editing, design, printing and binding, and its work with artists and designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince starting with Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, POST has presented around 50 publishers. They range from large international houses such as Phaidon, Thames \u0026amp; Hudson, Aperture and Gestalten, to small independent presses run by artists or designers, like The Eriskay Connection and Nazraeli Press, and publishers linked to non-profit or educational institutions, such as Book Works and AA Publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book collects every publisher feature from 2011 onwards, in the order they were shown. Each one includes images of the books presented, with captions and short texts. Between the features, essays look at how the art book world has changed in five-year steps since 2000. The book works as a guide to each publisher, and read from start to finish, it also shows how art book publishing has changed over the past 15 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith interviews with:\u003cbr\u003eFranz König (Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König)\u003cbr\u003eGerhard Steidl (founder of Steidl)\u003cbr\u003eLars Müller (founder of Lars Müller Publishers)\u003cbr\u003eMichael Mack (founder of MACK)\u003cbr\u003eRoger Willems (graphic designer, founder of Roma Publications)\u003cbr\u003eHans Gremmen (graphic designer, director of Fw: Books)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"POST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59114112942344,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/0315\/4246\/files\/original_aede436a-5a48-46bc-bec3-b6f44579b243.webp?v=1792142634","url":"https:\/\/www.kominekominekominek.shop\/products\/print-object-spread-trace-post-and-fifteen-years-of-art-books-2011-2026","provider":"Kominek","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
