| I think if Taschen paired up with Something Weird Video you could produce something truly special (in the vein of your History of Men's Magazines). |

| they are indeed very nice people at Something Weird, but most of what they have are poor quality film archives, not so easy to make into books. |

| Really? But all of their restored releases look so gorgeous on DVD (truly outstanding quality), and all of them have galleries that feature heaps upon heaps of exploitation art! Didn't Frank Henenlotter have at some point direct contact with all of those classic directors (HG Lewis, Doris Wishman, Andy Milligan, etc), or at least the people who own their stuff, and access to their archives? Damn, I thought that book was a definite possibility. Anyway, thank you so much for your answer, and I'm really looking forward for your future projects (bring them soon!!! please!!!) |

| So Mr. Duncan/Miss Hanson, could you give us a list of titles that are being considered for the next in the big film book series? I would think Chinatown or Apocalypse Now would be great choices. Also, what about The Last Emperor? Niki |

| Dear Niki, Yes, we are considering many films for future books, but everything takes time. There are archives and photos to find, people to convince, rights to secure, more people to convince/cajole/persuade, and a number of other mystical and mystifying practices that we employ at TASCHEN. This all takes a long time to get right. However long they may take, you know the books will be worth waiting for. Everything is possible, the impossible just takes longer. Best - paul |

| Guten Tag liebes Taschen-Team, zuerst einmal vielen Dank für die herrlichen Bücher, die ich mir schon über lange Jahre kaufen darf!!! Ich habe mir (nach langem Überlegen) Mark Ryden - Pinxit geleistet. Für mich ein echter finanzieller Kraftakt. Ein ganz wunderbares Werk!! Nun meine Frage: Warum gibt es bei einer Auflage von 1050 Stück 320 Artist's Proofs? Das sind grob gerechnet 30% der Auflage extra. Und warum erfährt man das erst bei Lieferung des Buches? Mich hat das offen gestanden etwas gewurmt. Liebe Grüße aus Berlin Kerstin M. |

| Liebe Kerstin Manz, es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen unser Buch zu Mark Ryden gefällt. Was die Artist Proofs betrifft, so ist es allgemein üblich, dass zusätzlich zur limitierten Auflage des Buches selber immer noch gesondert eine bestimmte Anzahl von Artist Proofs hergestellt werden. Allerdings laufen diese in der Regel „hors de commerce“. Solche APs dienen u.a. als Belegexemplare. Und dann gibt es auch immer wieder Sonderabsprachen mit den Künstlern selber. Ich kann Ihnen aber versichern, dass die Artist Proofs auf keinen Fall den Marktwert Ihres Buches schmälern werden. Viele Grüsse, Jenny |

| Dear Sal Situ, glad to hear it, thank you! You might want to check out also the Mark Ryden Art edition, which is also a true gem in terms of printing and production quality. Best wishes, Florian |

| Dear Taschen, I cannot express my love in words to your company. I love everything about it so much and i follow your new books passionately. I am a 16 year old boy from Israel. My dream is to get the "Pedro Almodovar Archives" book with the "Volver" Film strip. I love Almodovar so much and he my favorite artist in the whole world. Unfortunately I can't afford buying this incredible book because my family can't afford the price. Best Wishes, Ori from Israel. |

| Dear Ori, We love Pedro Almodóvar too, which is why we spared no expense to make a big book with him. Believe me, it's worth saving up for. If all goes well, hopefully we'll release a cheaper, smaller edition in a few years time. Best, - paul |

| It's totally worth it. I was still in school when the Kubrick Archives were released, so I didn't have a chance to buy it (my family is seriously non-rich). By the time the Bergman book was released I already had a job and no children (this is important if you weren't born rich and want to be able to afford $200 books), so I got it, and then Kubrick (for triple its original price, but whatever), and now Almodovar, and I eagerly await for the next one, which I seriously hope is about David Cronenberg or Ken Russell or Woody Allen or David Lynch or the Coens. And in, say, 20 years or so, one about Wes Anderson (that'll be pretty), Lars Von Trier, Michael Haneke... (that probably won't happen, right? Not before Scorsese and Coppola, I suppose). I share Ori's enthusiasm about your company. I've loved you since I was a child. God I remember those first books about Dalí and Jeff Koons. Thank you for them! |

| Dear Pony, All great suggestions. I also hope that I get the opportunity to make these books! best - paul |

| Seriously: Cronenberg. From "Shivers" to "A Dangerous Method"? I can't think of a better choice. |

| Omg, John Waters! (I went back to the main page and there he was, talking about the Big Book of Pussy) Not only his films, but his art, and his writing, and his everything... somebody should document every book he owns, and every corner of his house (that Place Space book did an adequate job, but we didn't see every corner, and those stacks of books moved from one place to another), and every piece of clothing he's worn, and every clipping on his walls, and every scrapbook he's assembled (like the book on Bacon's Incunabula, only more thorough). |

| I simply adore the Mark Ryden Collectors Item(s), but cannot find that kind of money on my book budget. Will there be any possibility to purchase a more ordinary Mark Ryden volume? Peace to Taschen and bibliophiles all over the World. |

| Dear Charlotte, many thanks for your kind message. There will certainly be a trade edition of the splendid Marc Ryden book – only trade-off that it may still take a year or two. Best wishes, Florian |
| , Mexico, January 25, 2012 |
| Unlike the "Obsessions of Robert Crumb"? What happened there? I remember the trade edition was annuounced ages ago, but never happened. |
| , Germany, January 26, 2012 |
| Dear Pony, please stay tuned on Crumb, there is going to be news about him soon. Best wishes, Florian |

| Oh, I've read it in a recent Vice interview: " VICE: Let’s move on to a more pleasant topic. You’re releasing a ten-volume Taschen book project next year? CRUMB: Actually it’s all sketchbook material. Taschen thinks on a grandiose level. They wanted to do a giant book containing all of my work, like a fucking 100-pound book with everything I ever did in it, and I thought, “No, we’re not going to do that, forget it.” VICE: Why not? CRUMB: Why? For one thing, have you ever seen these Taschen big books? They’re ridiculous. You can’t even read it. You have to sit the book on a podium, turning the pages like a giant Bible in a church. That’s ridiculous, I don’t want anything like that. But I did agree to do this sketchbook project. Basically, it’s sketchbook material from the 1960s until 2011. It’s probably going to end up being 12 books instead of ten because I’m too egotistical to reject my own stuff. I don’t know when it’s going to come out. " Those big books are actually awesome. I wish he had agreed, but twelve sketchbooks sounds just as good. |

| I have a huge collection of amazing TASCHEN books of arhitecture art & illustration! I love it! I'm a children book illustrator. I have all of "illustration now" series books. But they are all for adults. Are you going to publish some time illustration now of children books illustrators or something similar? Thank you. Best regards, Vera. |

| Dear Vera, many thanks for your enthusiasm and fidelity with the Illustration Now!-series. You must have a look at our brand new book on The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm - it reads like the who is who of child book illustrators. And who knows, maybe one day there is going to be a volume dedicated to children in the IN-format, too! Best wishes, Florian |
