Vhrsti has published four beatiful books through our publishing house. I appreciate his professionalism, fair attitude, flexibility, and – above all – human approach: He doesn’t work with the typical systém of „order/realisation/money“. He rall cares about the work, he has an emotional relationship to all of his creations. It’s only fair. I warmly recommend him.
