If you can print anywhere, where do you want to print and why?

(If you enjoy the process of book design, hear me and Craig Mod discussing the making of Handbook in On Margins podcast.)

After sounding out contacts for US and Canadian printers for The Handbook and Sustainable Data, we settled on Oddi Printers in Reykjavik, Iceland. It proved to be a good choice. They’ve been accommodating where necessary, and pleasantly finicky where it matters. The following photos from the first edition press-check.
