Publication of book, Handcrafted: The Art and Practice of the Handmade Print

[cyrus]

Handmade for the purpose of the book generally refers to prints made by hand coating, as opposed to machine coating or printing with a machine.

Ok thanks, this makes sense. I guess then alternative process photography would include factory silver gelatin nowadays too.

Very nice book, Sandy! Do you know it is available for sale at any online bookstore? It is not even listed on the publisher website yet.
Here is an Chinese online report abt the exhibition : http://finance.ifeng.com/a/20140906/13075766_0.shtml

That was a huge space for the exhibition at the Nanjing University of the Arts. We could have had four times as many prints in that space!

Sorry but I don't have any details right now on distribution. Our colleague Zhong has been very busy since the book was published, and as I understand, has just traveled with the exhibition to the Pingyao International Festival of Photography which is going on now. He took some copies of the book for sale so anyone planning to be in Pingyao this weekend could buy a copy.

Has the link to the content of the book (on the first page of this thread) been deleted? I get an odd "file not found" message when I click the link. Chinese text or not, I'd really like to see these images!

The "Handcrafted" book seems to be available on Amazon in China.

Google Chrome will translate this into English.

The link to the .pdf was taken down because of some last minute changes. Sorry but I don't have a new link.

thanks. It is also now available through the various merchants on Taobao (their biggest online market place). I will probably order it after their Oct golden week holidays where their postal system will be less chaotic.

Things move quickly in China. A week ago I could not tell anyone how to purchase the book, and now there seem to be many choices.

Also, the show has moved from Pingyao to Guangzhou. The organizer seems to be really on the ball in getting the work out there for people to see.

I am going to try to "import" this book and a couple other exquisite books from China (Reflection of Soul by Yang Yankang and The Yellow River by Zhang Kechun). Zhang's book is via large format camera. Will set up shop either on my website or on Amazon, and will make announcement in the proper forum when plans finalized. I know people do not want to see commercial messages in non-Announcement / non-forsale forums.
