As a publisher i find this fascinating. What we have is the day-to-day work of German fine Photographer/art press Steidl. The publisher Steidl seems to be a man who doesn't sleep and jumps from one project to another. In his world he had Robert Frank, Ed Ruscha, Karl Lagerfeld among others working with him on a mission that has to be perfect.

Publishing is a beautiful world. i am presuming that Steidl is a beautiful man.
