A 400 Page Large Format Book

Published August 1, 2014, this large format, cloth bound, hard-cover book has 400 pages, containing 380 images. It was designed by Arturo Chapa, one of the world’s top book designers.

This book is available in two editions; a signed and numbered limited-edition (500 copies only), contained in a clam-shell style slip-case, and also in an open series hard-covered edition without slip-case.

This is a video presentation of the Retrospective book’s content.
It runs for 14 minutes, and shows all 400 pages.

“Michael Reichmann’s –  A 20-Year Photography Retrospective –  is not simply a book, but rather an experience.
Something to live with each day; turn a page, and inhale.  You are looking through the eyes of a Master”.

– Jakob de Boer
