printers are famous here

My flat is located on Efringerstrasse, between Markgräflerstrasse and Amerbachstrasse.  Two days ago I learned that Amerbach was the name of a printer who worked here, and just yesterday I was looking at some of the images I shot of the books at Stanford.  Below, the first book I ever photographed:
You'll notice his name about halfway down the text, Amerpachio.  How about that.  I should mention that Amerbach probably didn't live in my neighborhood, back in the 16th century; this was probably a field, or a forest.  Maybe there were some deer.

Below, some images taken yesterday while helping Florian finish his project.  He had a lot of text for us to set and print.
