 Lasse has been chosen for representation by Evans Adrian International, and its PURBOOK™ brand, due to his outstanding commitment to quality. This is your opportunity to share in a showcase of his most personal work, in this limited form you will enjoy from the moment it is opened. What is a Purbook? Simply put, it is the most exquisite book you will ever purchase. Harkening back to the oldest illuminated manuscripts, we craft these limited editions with unprecedented quality of materials and singularity of design. Each Purbook edition is an extension of the artist's work, resulting in a book that is more a work of art than a mere binding. Lasse's Purbook has been tailored to his every specification for this, his first of many original publications to come. When you purchase this book, you are invited to tour his world. Lasse's books have been produced with the finest quality cotton paper, including all acid free materials. The high quality of materials we use to publish result in unparalleled archival print quality, which will stun you with every page turned. Each and every page we produce is prepared by hand, verified, and produced with our state of the art digital fine art printing technology. When a print is completed, our highly trained print production specialists check every single page--down to the square centimeter. To ensure lasting production quality, every page is guarded with a specialized coating: protecting it from moisture, ultraviolet light, and air contaminate damage. Each edition comes with an individually customized certificate of authenticity, encoded with an highly secured serial number, and other miscellaneous security features to ensure that your book is a genuine original. "What is it that makes a person's life remarkable? It is, in short, the ability to make others take notice. We want to know that person, or even just about them. Lasse Damgaard is one of those remarkable people we want to know about. [ ... ] Damgaard is able to take a total stranger and open a window into that person’s life through a single picture. What does this tell us of the artist? That he is human, that he cares and that through his interpretation of another human being we, in turn, are able to feel their pain, happiness, sadness. This is an incredible gift."  
Every Purbook features a twelve by twelve inch format, and is produced with our custom made, award winning Hahnemuhle museum grade cotton paper. Each Purbook meets unmatched archival quality standards, surpassing anything currently available on the market.

THE BOOKS & MOTHER EARTH From the start of the 21st century, care for the environment has been a major concern the world over. Evans Adrian International and Lasse Damgaard are proud to support the ongoing health of our planet by using environmentally friendly materials and construction methods for all of our books. Beyond environmental conservation, our production process preserves the art of bookbinding. We are proud to return true craftsmanship to the fine arts publishing industry, eschewing mass production to promote the subtle beauty of hand crafted goods. Our goal is to bring value back to books as a traditional art form while bringing due recognition to the artists we publish. Lastly, we believe in paying a fair wage to all of our employees and artists; all of our books and materials are produced or purchased within fair-wage countries and/or are certified fair trade. One of the finest of the disappearing traditions we seek to revive is that of valuing others and treating them with the respect they deserve.
