Crazy Diamond Publishing is all about quality, with high-end materials leading to high-end final products, and premium service. For this reason, we specialise in high-end art books printed and bound with the finest materials.
The physical book must come up to the standards of the art it displays. It is not just a book, it is an exhibition.
Premium quality printing, high-end materials, and luxury binding and finishing are what Crazy Diamond’s Sepciality Art and Photography Book service is all about. Your work will be perfectly showcased with us. Not only that, but we offer extremely attractive prices given the quality of our productions.
We offer a very wide range of quality paper types from the best paper producers across Europe, including designer and craft papers.
We can provide every possible special effect to embellish your creations, such as selective varnish, peachskin lamination, embossing, complex die-cutting (including laser cutting), hardback binding with canvas spines, a combination of fabric and paper, metallic cover effects, gilding and edge painting.
Photography
Our photography books are designed to look superb, and are printed with the very highest quality materials.
As an example, we can showcase a retrospective by the important Northern Irish photographer Martin Nangle.
Circle is a four-volume set of books by Martin in which he chronicles his journey as a photojournalist over the decades since 1973. In the first volume, A Belfast Story, he sets out his journey’s beginnings and how the city shaped his views on the world around him.
September ‘89 is the result of a ten day walk around parts of Boston while his first exhibition about Belfast was being displayed at the Centre for the Arts in Tremont Street.
Art
A book on art should be a work of art. If the subject matter is art that is beautiful, then the book must be beautiful too. And at all times the physical quality has to be of the very highest. This is not normally the case with online self-publishing, but we can guarantee it.
By way of an example of artistic book design, here are some extracts from a forthcoming Crazy Diamond Books publication called ‘An Apology for Lyric Poetry’.
Our mission is to make self-publishing beautiful, at an affordable price. Whatever your art or photography consists of, we will turn it into a superb-quality exhibition in book form. Get in touch for more details and a quote.
