Pinnacle prints footy legend's story

Footy fans are in for a treat, with Pinnacle Print Group producing TINAFI, a memoir and life story of sports legend Gordon Yea, written by his daughter Pamela Yea.

The book was co-edited by Naomi Johnson, daughter of Pinnacle Print Group account manager Rod Johnson. It was printed digitally using Pinnacle’s HP Indigo 12000.

The outer cover is a 300gsm Ecostar 100 per cent recycled with an anti-scuff laminate finish, accompanied with inner pages that are 100gsm Ecostar 100 per cent recycled. The book was then perfect bound.

“Pinnacle Print Group receive many unique jobs, but this will go down in history as legendary,” said operation director Pedro Carlus, “Our team collaborated with the author to self-publish by designing and preparing the typesetting to get the book print-ready. Generally, publication files of this nature are set-up ready to go, but we felt really privileged to have input on the design.”

The memoir recollects Yea’s sporting career at North Melbourne FC, Essendon FC, and Brunswick FC, and travels back in time from 1924, reminiscing about his life in country Victoria and Melbourne. Fans can visit Collins Booksellers Sunbury to get their hands on this beauty of a book.

Based in Melbourne’s north, Pinnacle Print Group first fired up the presses in 1982, and says it has evolved and adapted by setting high standards at every level of the print process ever since.
