Coming [date], we are leaving our place at Mauritskade and will move from East to West Amsterdam! Just in time for our new, and bigger, printing press with no less than five colours. You can find our new address on the homepage of our website.
As of today, you can follow us on Instagram (@robstolk.amsterdam) where we share the latest news from the print shop. We think it is a nice way to give an insight into the production process, the printing industry and important events, who our customers are and of course the final product. We take our own photos and for the product photography we have a mini studio set up in the printing house.
"The book Spul, about the archaeological finds made during the construction of the North/South Line in Amsterdam, is currently the most beautiful book in the world. That is the opinion of the Stiftung Buchkunst Leipzig, where they have chosen the most beautiful book every year since 1963. The international jury chose from 600 submissions from 34 countries." Source: Het Parool.
13,000 finds in 600 pages of 36.5 x 24.3 cm. That is Spul (Stuff), designed by Willem van Zoetendaal, with photography by Harold Strak, and an introduction by city archaeologist Jerzy Gawronski who also documented the excavations. Printed in 2018.

The printing house remains on the Mauritskade in Amsterdam where the new owners Tanneke Janssen and Jacqueline van As want to expand the printing house and let the company grow.
