“Deutsche Laufbildprojektoren” is an authoritative book about antique German theatre projectors. It was published in 1986 by the “Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek” and the 3000 copies of the first print are sold out a long time ago.

The book was made in a joint effort by Herbert Tümmel (now deceased) and Jochen Hergersberg.

Fortunately, Mr. Hergersberg and the Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek have agreed to republish the book. To reduce the high production costs involved, it has been decided to use modern technology: it will be published in electronic form as an eBook which can be downloaded, viewed on a computer and printed out.

And so the “Deutsche Laubildprojektoren” project was born. In the next blogs I’ll be giving more background information. In the meantime have a look at the review.
