We really like ‘Stuff We Really Like’.
Almost 800 pages long, (yes, that’s eight hundred), Music’s case bound promo book grew ever so slightly from the 32 pager they first intended to produce. Team met the challenge, producing the 32 thread sewn sections with foiled hard cover to Music’s usual meticulous specification.
Matt Beardsell of Music explains the thinking behind the book;
‘At Music we like a list, as you’ll know if you’ve visited our website recently. The idea for this book started life as a very short list of stuff we really like, compiled by people who work at Music. Before we knew it we had a list so long we could have written a whole book. So we did.
Although the book has ended up 760 pages longer than first planned, we’ve had a lot of fun pulling it together, finding out more about each other and realising how much we have in common (although debates over milk chocolate digestives vs dark chocolate digestives will rage on).
So, with very little (if any) editing the full list of Stuff We Really Like is now out there. The initial response to it has been great and we’re encouraging friends and colleagues to point out anything we’ve missed for inclusion in volume 2.’
Text printed on Munken Pure, endpapers on Stephen Innocent White. The run of 500 books was divided into three different paper over board and dust jacket options.

Team to sponsor Manchester showing of ‘Typeface’ film.
The next Independent Northern Creative event, sponsored by Team, will be a screening of the internationally acclaimed film Typeface. Directed by Justine Nagan, the film is a fascinating documentary in progress about the Hamilton Woodtype Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
Following the museum’s attempt to preserve the art of letterpress printing, the film gives an intriguing glimpse of life in this small mid-western town and demonstrates how the museum’s role in preserving and promoting traditional craft techniques have had a significant impact on helping to shape the future of contemporary design.
Find out more information on the film here.
The film will be shown at Shillington College,
1 Portland Street, Manchester – May 14th 6.30pm. Tickets are strictly limited for this event and cost £10 (free to members of INC).Book through the INC website.

Print matters (but needn’t cost the earth).
In line with their broader environmental policy, Team now carries FSC/recycled paper as standard everyday printing stocks. These high quality, high performance stocks are offered for use on all appropriate projects unless other branded papers are specified by the client. We carry FSC Gloss, Silk and Uncoated or Recyled FSC Gloss, Silk and Uncoated in a comprehensive range of weights. And because of the volumes involved in carrying them as standard stock it won’t cost you any more. But you’ll make a real saving on your environmental footprint.
To order Print Matters, our handy little booklet showing printed samples of each grade and a full explanation of how we take our environmental responsibilities seriously, email Simon Bucktrout.

The Brand Nursery delighted with Team’s smooth handling of BMW project.
Taking advantage of Team’s in-house digital and paper over board services, The Brand Nursery have produced a limited edition presentation box for BMW.
‘Working with organisations like BMW we need to ensure that the quality of our thinking and the quality of the end product is central to every project we do for the brand. For the launch of the 2010 BMW 5 Series Saloon we devised a smart structural solution to house a USB device containing model specific data for the UK Press. The functional aspects of the design were just as important as the look and feel to communicate the appropriate image for the BMW brand. Team Impression clearly understood our requirements from the outset and provided us with a good working partnership that enabled us to deliver this project under tight time constraints and on budget.’
