IHF Photo Book - Vol1

[Megatron1505]

Nope, although I know people who have (on a small scale).

First thing to find out is if the idea has wings, if not then no point investing any more time in it.

i work with a really good printing shop in potsdam who is doing a fantastic print job on books with pictures in it.
can get a quote for printing costs of a book with lets say 100 pages? something between A4 and A3.
what would be the a fictional edition be, 1000 - 2000 copies?

are also willing to do the design of the book.
cheers

Iron Heart by Iron Heart for Iron Heart

• essentially a book full of Iron Heart clothing sported by members of the Iron Heart forum for members of the Iron Heart forum (unless anyone else is interested too)

I'm not sure how much interest you'd generate outside these virtual walls and this is bandwagon jumping of the highest order but if you want to do it then why not? Try to bring something original to the table within the idea though to differentiate it from the other glossy denim books on the market. Perhaps some insight into the people featured? Just my $0.02.

It might be interesting to have some contributions/interviews from Haraki, Giles etc and also some pics of the factories/processes etc. to satisfy mega geeks/gimps such as myself!

I agree, it would be nice to have some informations about the brand, the participating People and so on.

Not sure about this one - should it feature high quality pictures where possible?! This might add to the complexity of creating the book, but that's, IMO, the main purpose of it. I want to have something nice to look at and not see just blurry blown up cellphone shots - it's against the original purpose of creating a printed Version. But if we use the Forums and Posts from a few years back, there might just be a lack of quality in Resolution and picture quality.

IMO It HAS to be proper quality photos.  Otherwise it's just a scrappy scrap book…

I printed a 72 page magazine DPI/quality, archival grade thick paper hard cover book, 1 off, using adoramapix recently, cost me $150USD. (size is 8x12)

Totally in but think we should look at realistics of printing before going too far down the line..
