Larger than Life Book for KISS –Cagle

Verona, Italy-based printer EBS Editoriale Bortolazzi Stei churned out the pages on two KBA Rapida 162 sheetfed offset presses. It took 14 days of 14-hour production to complete the printing phase alone. An unnamed Italian bindery, which is credited with serving the Vatican's binding needs, provided hand sewing for the entire run of 1,000 copies. The sewing of each copy took two weeks and required roughly 66 feet of thread. The covers for each copy used 17.2 square feet of cloth.
