It feels like Christmas every time the postman drops off a huge parcel at my front door.
In this case, it was a much-awaited photo book of Vesna and Janez’s wedding (see their story here).
The book is the Ederra model offered by a Slovenian company Kalá Albums, run by the excellent photographer Iva Novak. I went all-out, choosing the largest format and page count (30×30 cm, 80 pages). The result is astonishing – the book is incredible, print quality is great and the craftsmanship is impeccable. I eventually decided against engraving on the cover since the chosen canvas color was too light to make it legible enough (also, the offered choice of typography is somewhat limited but I believe you can provide your own typeface), but the photo on the cover makes a great first impression just as well. The book itself comes in a canvas protection bag, accompanied by a personalized thank-you card from Iva.
The price is a bit steep but considering the sheer size of the book and its quality, I actually find it quite reasonable (especially after seeing products from a few other companies).
