In rural Pennsylvania, in a barn he built himself, Nicholas Gottlund runs eponymous publishing house Gottlund Verlag. He mainly publishes photography books with a special focus on found images and photos from the recent past. Last year he published a four-part series of short books from photographer Ed Panar called Salad Days, consisting of only photos the photographer took while still in high school. To complete the academic theme, each volume was released with the four quarters of a typical school year. For most publications, Gottlund also designs and prints a letterpress cover in his print shop, and constructs the books by hand.

To commemorate a new studio in Los Angeles, every title Gottlund publishes in 2013 will be somehow relate to California.
