Art enthusiasts and bibliophiles alike are flocking to Beijing's 2025 China Print expo, where a groundbreaking collectible museum guidebook promises to bring global art treasures into homes worldwide. Showcased in a sleek hardcover format, the book features an edge-to-edge design inspired by Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night, blending artistic heritage with modern printing innovation.
The guidebook, displayed at the Beijing event running through May 19, utilizes the 'book-fish technique' developed by the Chinese mainland's Beijing Zhiyi Technology Company. This proprietary fore-edge printing method, which creates seamless visual narratives across page edges, reportedly decorates 500,000 books daily across global markets. The technique's scalability highlights China's growing influence in marrying cultural preservation with industrial technology.
For travelers and diaspora communities, the publication offers virtual access to iconic artworks from Asia's museums alongside Western masterpieces. Business analysts note its appeal to luxury collectors and educational institutions, while academics praise its potential as a cross-cultural research tool. As print industry leaders gather in Beijing, this convergence of art and innovation underscores Asia's role in shaping global creative industries.
