Thauberger Casebound Book

We're thrilled with this stunning 208 page hard cover book recently completed at Kallen Printing. Designed by Hartman Design Studio, "Road Trips and Other Diversions" features the artwork of renowned Saskatchewan artist, David Thauberger.

The artist's work consists of a huge collection of buildings, from small town shops and homes to quonset huts and churches. The portrayal of regionalism and Saskatchewan vernacular had a stirring sense of approachability and homeyness. The uncoated paper throughout was chosen to support this feeling of accessibility. 

The front cover type includes "flocking" a tactile, black velvet-like treatment that the artist often used in his printmaking. Also featured are orange end papers, a matching orange ribbon and a CD inserted at the rear of the book.

Yee Haw!!

Rumour has it there's a big party coming up… Who wouldn't wanted to be invited to this rich ride with a fun invite like this one? 

Hot off the press from Kallen Printing, the envelope and ticket folder were printed on Classic Crest Stipple finish, resulting in a luscious tactile effect that looks and feels like leather! In contrast, the "flask" invitation was printed on a Gloss Cover stock to mimic stainless steel.

Did you Know…?


- Adverse health effects from producing an e-reader are 70 times worse than producing a book.

- Printing is the only medium with a one-time carbon footprint—all other media require energy every time they are viewed.

- The primary raw material for paper is trees, which are a renewable resource. The trees in North America used for paper production come from well-managed forests or farms.
