About vagabond books

OBJECTIVE At a time when information of all kinds is permanently available everywhere, an essential value is increasingly being lost: space for emotion. An idea is no longer conceived, developed or imagined to completion; it is only “researched”. The objective of vagabond books is to oppose this tendency and invite readers to delight in high-quality books, inspiring observers’ imaginations, giving wing to fantasy and providing emotional and lasting impressions. BACKGROUND Fascinated with travel, spurred by curiosity and with his camera in hand, Bernd Rücker, founder of the publishing house, decided to explore the cities and metropolises of Europe and the world. When he returned from his wanderings, the designer set about finding illustrated books that reflected his impressions. The works available on the market, however, failed to satisfy his needs in terms of moving photographs, emotional texts and high-quality design at an affordable price. In the spring of 2011, with that end in mind, he founded vagabond books. This same year, the publishing house will debut at the Frankfurt Book Fair with the CITY IMPRESSIONS collection.
