Prestel - Anime: Der ultimative Guide book

This product is an art book titled 'Anime: Der ultimative Guide' (the German edition of 'Anime: The Ultimate Guide') by Joe O'Connell. It is published by Prestel Publishing, a prestigious name in art and architecture books. Prestel was originally founded in 1924 in Frankfurt, Germany, by Hermann Prestel, and has since grown into a global authority on visual culture.

While the brand has its roots in Germany, Prestel is currently a part of the Random House Group, having been acquired by Verlagsgruppe Random House (now Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe) in 2008. Consequently, the ultimate owner is Bertelsmann, a multinational media conglomerate headquartered in Gütersloh, Germany. Manufacturing of such high-quality art books typically occurs in multiple locations depending on the specific edition and printing runs, involving specialized art printers in Germany, Italy, or Asia.
