We recently worked with Dan Iverson at Anthologie, to showcase our new 12 inch by 12 inch sewn signature book offering.

This fabulous book of family images – focused on the first year of a new life – shows the impact of a large page size and the potential of a full 24 inch spread. We are very excited about the possibilities for this 12 inch square sewn book. It has already been used for fine art and full sized scanned scrapbook pages (finally a way to faithfully reproduce all those valuable family scrapbooks in an heirloom sewn signature book).

This new capability also allows us to sew other 12 inch wide books, including 12 x 10 & 12 x 9 for photo books that are better suited to landscape sizes.

The new sizes are included in the latest update to our Design Tool so that you can create your own 12 inch wide photo book. Down load the free Design Tool and get started.

Dan Iverson is the owner of Anthologie, a full-service creative studio specializing in the capture of life’s stories through photographs and preserving those special moments with beautiful handmade books. Anthologie approaches every commission as a fine art project that begins well before the event and continues long afterward. We are thrilled to be partners in Dan’s fine art projects.

Browsing Frank D’Annunzio’s captivating and vibrant collection of nature, landscape and wildlife images, it’s easy to understand why one might want to spend a lifetime studying his subjects.

D’Annunzio’s love for nature, exploration and photography- to which he credits his parents’ encouragement- began to develop around age 13.  Many years, much practice and several cameras later, D’Annunzio’s work drops you into the center of stunning landscapes and intimate moments with wildlife- all-the-while exploring some of the finest details nature has to offer.

D’Annunzio’s impressive collection of gorgeous captures needed to be preserved- and showcased.  A Father himself, D’Annunzio and PhotoBook Press set out to create a special book – a kind of ‘thank you’ gift to his parents.

“ The natural world is wild and scenic and I feel obligated and privileged to instill in my children an appreciation for it’s beauty and grandeur, much like my parents did with me.”

Viewing this book is almost enough to insure D’Annunzio’s plan will succeed.  His choice to build a large-format book including numerous full-page spreads, bleeds and a stunning graphic hardcover- Makes you appreciate the subject as if you were present in the moment where the photo was captured.
