Consumables
A Book On The Wild Side
Friday 16. October 2009 - When Sappi, the world leading paper brand, were invited to sponsor a book on wild mountain Gorillas, featuring a stunning selection of photographs, it seemed like the ideal opportunity to demonstrate the superb performance of Sappis Magno paper brand.
The first book involving Mondberge, a team of German photographers and authors who trekked to Uganda to record the lives of some of the 700 wild mountain gorillas left in Africa, was published in June 2009 with a percentage of the proceeds going to further conservation projects by the team. With striking photographs and evocative copy, the book is enhanced by the fact that it is printed on Magno paper which gives an intensified finish to the printed image.
Manue Gheysen, Marketing Initiatives and Events Team Leader at Sappi Fine Paper Europe said:
“Its a beautiful book which brings to life the story of the expedition and the incredible effort from everyone involved. We are very proud to be associated with Mondberge and it is timely sponsorship because 2009 is the Year of The Gorilla worldwide.”
The book, entitled Perle Afrikas (The pearl from Africa), Impressions form Uganda, is published by Tipp4, Germany, and will be showcased at the Frankfurt Book Fair 14-18 October on the Sappi stand A1300 in Hall 4.0.
Visitors who drop their business card will have a chance to win a copy of the book as a draw will be organised.
Perle Afrikas also exists as a limited edition, in a luxury case holding a CD with wallpaper photos and a video, printed bookmarks and a set of postcards from the book.
