So if you are already in search for the extraordinary gift here are two books that will bring a special glow to the dark days.

Mike Schultz’ Foundry Work volume I & II both show unique images done in dozens of foundries worldwide by one of the best industrial photographers around.
The amazing clarity and detail of his work is well supported by the vintage printing.
Strongly recommended.

One can order the books here: Vol. I , Vol. II .
