Berlin publisher Roland Angst, director of “Only-Photography” books,
presented his latest collection at the “Douches la Galerie” where it
is on display through January 15, 2012. A true revolution! In an era
when a collector’s book about Alsace, financed by the region is
printed in China to reduce costs. Roland Angst prefers quality over
cost. In an era when publishers are seeking to cut paper costs,
Roland Angst hunts out fine quality papers to best accompany his
photographers’ works. For print type, translations, packaging too.
When others are looking for the highest distribution, Roland Angst
limits his publications to 500 numbered and signed copies. Despite
the absence of a distributor or a dedicated shop, some of his books
are sold out. While other publishers tend to focus on profits,
limiting fabrication delays, Roland Angst spends nearly one year on
each book. Holding discussions with the authors. Out of 150 prints,
only 80 are selected.

Created in 2008, Only-Photography books has six books in their catalog.
