If you haven't seen COUTURE BOOK, follow the link for more information - http://www.couture.com/.
COUTURE BOOK, which combines fine quality photographic digital printing with handmade bindings, is the fulfillment of professional photographer Phyllis Lane's vision for high-end photo books. Alas, she couldn’t find anyone to produce such a book. So today, she and husband/partner Rodrigo Coelho have launched COUTURE BOOK to fill that niche. The books are printed using a six-color HP Indigo press 5500, and hand-bound using time-honored techniques.
Twinetter, thanks for the lead.
