Published: May 2016 A BOOK WITH ESSENCE, THE ESSENCE OF IBIZA TOLD FROM WITHIN
Through the portraits of 19 people, Andy Baumann, who recounts their life stories, allows the reader to discover the island's socio-environmental heritage, nature trails, places with character, and spots to have fun and enjoy themselves. Experiences, aspirations, and adventures told in the first person represent an opportunity to activate the social memory of the territory and reconstruct values associated with biological and cultural diversity. "They are all who they are because they make it possible," Andy points out.
AWESOME IBIZA also presents more than 70 experiences lived on the island, from nature to clubs, from organic farming to the most elegant restaurants, so that visitors and residents can enjoy Ibiza even more. This book wasn't made just for Ibiza locals, nor is it a promotional book, because the places and people featured were selected for what they offer and the value they bring to the island, and there is no financial compensation of any kind.
It's a book that prioritizes the emotions conveyed through the stunning photographs and the personal anecdotes that shape the reader's image of the real Ibiza. The book was born from the enormous interest in material culture, in what defines Ibiza's history.
AWESOME IBIZA falls into the category of "coffeetable book," meaning a large-format, hardcover book where the design and exquisite production, with abundant illustrations, take precedence over the text. It's a book created as a decorative complement to homes due to its attractive presentation. These beautifully bound copies measure 25x30 cm, with 346 pages and over 450 images, printed on high-quality paper and hand-sewn with white thread—a technique not widely used today but which allows for superior photographic quality.
