Astier de Villatte Ma Vie a Paris 2017 French French version

Astier de Villatte designers Benoit and Yvan
A guidebook that brings together all of their beloved Paris in one volume.
It comes with a booklet containing flea market addresses and other information.

It is made using letterpress printing.
Because the type stamps are arranged by hand, one character at a time,
It's very time-consuming.
It was the technique that was at the heart of printing for five centuries.

This was made possible by Astier's philosophy of valuing tradition and handmade products.

The guidebook is beautifully bound, like an old novel.
Letterpress printing, monochrome photographs,
It's mesmerizing no matter where you look.
The top, bottom and front edge are painted gold, giving it a luxurious look.

When publishing guidebooks, we insist on traditional hand-binding.
He founded the publishing house Edition Astier de Villatte in Paris.
Astier de Villatte originally commissioned the notebook and other items.
The letterpress printing craftsman is retiring,
He opened a publishing company in the closed workshop.
Cherishing the techniques and culture handed down from ancient times,
I want to preserve the good things and my favorite things.
That is the feeling that is put into it.

Books printed using such traditional letterpress printing,
It has a very tasteful beauty that digital printing does not have.
In order to combine type to create a printing plate,
It takes time and effort and the installment is expensive, but
The slightly blurred, analog-feeling finish is truly special.

I'm curious about the contents,
Restaurants, grocery stores, boutiques, museums, etc. that they are familiar with
It's packed with lots of special addresses.
It's also enjoyable as a read,
Enjoy an elegant moment with a French dictionary in hand and your thoughts transported to Paris.
It can also be used as part of your interior decor. It's a beautiful book that will look stunning just by having it on display.

He continues to create works that fascinate people all over the world.
The two authors' unique perspective is intriguing, and the book is also highly valuable.
The guidebook is also available in English.
