‘The Cult of Porsche: In the Beginning’ showcases original Porsches, as well as owner-modified classics and their stories and is the first book in a planned trilogy to be written by long-time Porsche journalist and blogger John Glynn. The text has been richly illustrated with lavish photography by James Lipman, the internationally-renowned automotive photographer.
“Silk Pearce’s in depth experience of design for print and knowledge of paper has enabled Ricoh to produce a beautiful digitally-printed book with a quality that rivals traditional offset printing. ‘In the Beginning’ demonstrates Ricoh’s advanced digital printing technologies, combined with traditional finishing techniques and we believe the exceptional end product will impress and delight publishers looking to create unique, short-run books for niche specialist markets, as well readers interested in creative design, photography and Porsche’s unique engineering vision,” said Andy Campbell, printing innovation manager at Ricoh Europe.
‘The Cult of Porsche: In the Beginning’ is the first Ricoh design project that Silk Pearce has worked on. The book has been printed on a Ricoh Pro C5100S production printer, known for its excellent image quality and using a range of creative papers from Italian manufacturer Favini. The book was shown for the first time at The London Book Fair 2014 this week (8 – 10 April) which brings together publishers, agents and prospective authors, as well as companies involved in digital print technology.
