The Great Book of Manufactories is the most comprehensive reference work for high-quality, handcrafted products and exceptional manufactories in the German-speaking world. The publication brings together nearly 300 selected manufacturers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and offers a unique overview of the world of sophisticated craftsmanship.
