I just wanted to write to thank you so much for helping us navigate this (quite stressful) undertaking for us at this stage in the publishing life of Little Door Books.

Using Imago has transformed how we do business.ย With Imago we saved at least 3-6 months of coordination time and I wouldnโt ever go back to ordering from printing companies directly! First class service and amazing support.

Imago has been an incredible partner. Itโs never just printing; itโs about the right paper, process, and colors. When I created the coffin-shaped box, your team helped refine the concept beyond what I imagined. Iโm grateful for our collaboration and truly honored by the success of The Ghastly Lenormand.

That`s a wrap on @buchmesse ! ๐
Thank you to everyone who came by our stand to say hello, catch up or talk through new projects. It was great to see so many familiar faces and to meet new ones too.
If we didn`t manage to meet, or you`d like to pick up where we left off, send us a message. We`d love to hear from you.
See you next time, Frankfurt! ๐
Kenshin has shaped manga culture for 20+ years. So when @glenatbd wanted a collector`s edition, "good enough" wasn`t on the table.
Five paper stocks in one volume.
A woven linen jacket wrapped in holographic foil.
Section-sewn binding, done in true Japanese reading order.
3,000 copies, every single one built by hand-level precision on an industrial scale.
The tricky part? Foil doesn`t sit the same on linen as it does on flat paper. The weave shifts under heat and pressure, and there`s zero room for waste on a material this premium.
Add in five substrates, each with its own colour profile and quirks, and you`ve got a production puzzle that has to click into place perfectly, every time.
This is the kind of project we live for.
Full breakdown in our case study, link in the comments๐

Hot days like this remind us of one of our favourite ever projects, and one of the most impressive we`ve ever worked on.
A few years back we worked on Visionaire 56 Solar, a limited edition artist`s book sponsored by Calvin Klein Collection. Visionaire are a New York-based art and fashion publication legendary for pushing the boundaries of what a book can actually be. Solar was their 56th issue, a celebration of summer featuring original artworks by Alex Katz, Peter Lindbergh, Ryan McGinley and David Sims.
And it was designed for hot sunny days like this: it arrived in an all-white slipcase, all-white cover, black and white inside. But the moment you took it out into the sunshine, it completely transformed.
Photochromic inks hidden across every page reacted to the UV light and an entire world of colour emerged.
We`ve written up the full story on the site, go check it out!

After trusting us with the production of The Grand Book of Nature, @salamandre_media came back with a new challenge: a field version of the same work.
Same content, new logic, how do you turn a 736-page encyclopaedia into a book designed to be used outdoors, in real conditions?
The original edition represents 20 years of work, 2,600 species, 4,500 illustrations, and over 18,000 copies sold since 2021. A reference work, but designed for libraries, not backpacks.
What changes in production:
-736 sewn pages in sections on FSC semi-matt paper, ensuring colour stability and readability outdoors.
-A cover built to withstand field use: scratch-resistant matt lamination + selective UV varnish on key graphic areas.
-Three colour-coded ribbon markers to navigate across 83 chapters without folding pages.
And a bonus feature: a PVC bookmark inserted at the end of the book, combining reading reference, symbol guide, and a millimetre ruler to measure tracks directly in nature.

Some projects look simple on the surfaceโฆ until youโre managing multiple editions, different specifications, tight deadlines and the need for complete consistency throughout. Thatโs exactly what this book printing project involved.
In our latest case study, we share how Imago Group helped deliver a complex multi-edition production smoothly, while maintaining quality from start to finish.
A great example of what strong planning, clear communication and the right print partner can achieve.
