Our series EDITION PANORAMA BIBLIOTHEK has meanwhile received four awards for design and extraordinary quality of print. We take this acknowledgement as a confirmation that the intensive work we invested into the development of the concept as well as in the selection of materials is paying off. We also do our best in choosing subjects that fuse most ambitious panorama photography with most interesting subject matters, and thus also realize projects that may not seem touristically all that viable on first glance. The literary texts by renowned authors, which introduce each subject, are chosen for their ability to do full justice to the photographs.
