How to Make a Book with Steidl

As digital-agers increasingly insist that print is dying, this documentary climbs into the world of renowned German printer-publisher Gerhard Steidl whose unconditional love for books and the traditional printing craft (ie. by hand) is keeping the art very much alive. He resolves to check each and every sheet that leaves his printing shop, and his commitment to quality standards and artistic empathy have made him a sought-after publisher for the world's best photographic artists and fashion designers including Karl Lagerfeld. Watch as he travels the world to put his exquisite personal touch on every creation that passes through his fingers.
