Thanks for sharing the link.

I'm also a Robert Frank fan, and it's also interesting to just get a glimpse of the Photobook making process.

But it wasn't clear to me what the "starting material" for the pictures was - did Robert carry original artwork to the printers location with him to be re-photographed, or was everything digital already from before, or?

That whole aspect of printing photos for books is a black box for me.
