Some technical notes
The Baby Brick has 2 differrent papers (a haptic Swedish and a smooth Italian) used for printing (150gr, 1,5 Vol), changing every 24 pages. Every single piece of these bibliophile books is entirely bound by the hand of a Master Bookbinder. This book is released in a limited edition of worldwide total 250 books, which makes the number of books produced smaller as the amount of illustrations. The group of owners will so be quite exclusively small. There is a Lilac Edition of 150 pieces, bound in Hardcover and Lilac linnen, embossing in different coulours and the Black Techno Edition of 100 pieces, bound in Hardcover and the stunning Techno Synthetic Fabric, the embossing in pure Copper. As the books will be produced and delivered very slowly due to the process of manufacturing entirely by hand, only small quantities of these exceptional books can be reserved for each country.
The Lilac Edition available from 80 €
The Black Techno Edition available from 110 €
The prices of the already legendary sumptious Darling Publications Special Editions which include an unique piece by Karl Fritsch are upon request.
