Visionary German art-book publisher Gerhard Steidl is a maverick in the age of digital media. For over 40 years he has combined the roles of printer and publisher and perfectionist that has seen him personally check each sheet leaving his printing shop in Göttingen.
This extraordinary study of craftsmanship follows Steidl as he travels the world to meet and collaborate with such renowned figures as Robert Frank, Ed Ruscha and Gunter Grass to produce beautiful books.
