The book is sized 138 mm x 216 mm (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches) and printed on 125g silk art paper with a heavy 250g cover. Each book is numbered and signed by the curator and editor, Andreas Duess.

About the author:

Although I was given a Greek name I confusingly come in the guise of a 6'6" blond Scandinavian. When I am not publishing books or working on private projects for my gallery I can be found working as the Creative Director for some of London's top advertising agencies. My portfolio can be seen at http://www.duess.com. In my spare time I am passionate cook. My girlfriend claims to this day that I snared her through my chefing skills and our dinner parties are the stuff of legend.
We'll soon be moving away from London to live in Toronto, Canada.
