| Book review on Oh Top Book blog 18 November 2012 "A simple, bold design in red and black pays obvious homage to both Albania (these are the colors of their flag) and the Soviet connection. A closer look displays a series of dots distributed across the cover in the shape of Albania. Holding the book, you realize these aren't dots, but rather bumps in the shape of the bunkers that protrude from the cover in the same way the bunkers protrude from the landscape. Thus, in tactile form, the cover embodies the book's central motif, the thousands of bunkers spread all across the country." read more |

| Book review in Source Photographic Review magazine (IE) 5 November 2012 Last week the Irish magazine Source published an amazing review on Concresco: “… A series of interviews excerpts and explanatory, critical texts are placed throughout the book; in this Concresco distinguishes itself from many otherwise well-made photobooks, which trust too much in the power of the image to reveal everything that need be known about their subject … Concresco is a skilful and sensitive piece of critical journalism, in which style and content are successfully synthesised to arrive at a subtle treatment of a complex subject.” read more |
 |
| Book review Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards 26 Oktober 2012 "Above-ground bunkers are scattered across Albania, serving as physical reminders of the country's struggles for security during the Communist era. Two decades after the fall of Communism, these bunkers still stand, drawing the attention of foreigners while perhaps symbolizing Albanians' difficulty in realizing the next phase of their national identity ... Concresco is a consistently and elegantly rendered physical object. As a first published book, it incorporates the right number of variations on the traditional book-making process". read more |

 |
| Book review by GUP magazine 5 Mei 2012 "Concresco is more than a visual witness to the ravages of communism; it’s almost a wistful ode to the 750,000 bunkers marring the Albanian landscape, anchored deeper in the history and collective unconscious of the country than in its land itself. Unadorned and probably unretouched, taken from the distance of an outside observer, David Galjaard’s photos perspire the bleakness of the fall out of a 50 year long dictatorship..." read more |

I'm not sure if that was what made the difference, but winning the pitch is nevertheless a great start of the budget for the book. As cherry on the cake, Hans Rooseboom (curator of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam) made the three buttons part of the museum's collection of photography. You can read the report of the evening on PhotoQ.nl |
