Somogyi Győző - Szelényi Károly - Káli-medence ​/ Das Kál-Becken am Balaton / The Kál Basin by Lake Balaton
Amikor ​egy szép könyvet bocsát a kiadásában közreműködők köre, óhatatlanul szeretné ajánlását néhány sorba szűkítve összefoglalni és e néhány sorban átadni az olvasó számára mindazon gondolatokat, amelyek az alkotó munka során foglalkoztatták. Ennek a könyvnek a kiadása nem hivatásos könyvkiadók kezdeményezés. Mi, a Káli-medence szerelmesei, szerettük volna bemutatni a széles olvasói tábor számára azokat a természeti, kulturális és építészeti értékeket, amelyek hazánknak e térségében találhatók, valamint e táj sajátosan jellegzetes szépségét, amely miatt ma méltán egyik tájvédelmi körzetünk. Lelkesedésünk mit sem ért volna, ha elképzeléseinket és szándékainkat nem segíti Szelényi Károly fotóművész, valamint Somogyi Győző grafikus- és festőművész. E két kiváló művész érdeme, hogy mindenki számára érzékelhetővé, tapinthatóvá -és rajzos vázlatok alapján akár saját építkezésénél használhatóvá is - tette mindazokat a műszaki megoldásokat és díszítő elemeket, amelyek e tájra annyira jellemzőek. A könyv a művészek alkotókedve ellenére sem sikerülhetett volna kiadásra, ha szándékainkat a NORDLINE Magyar-Finn bróker cég, a NORDINVEST Magyar-Finn Befektető Társaság és a Hotel Hélia Magyar-Finn Szálloda Vállalat nem karolta volna fel és nem támogatja. Örülünk, hogy e finn-magyar cégek támogatásukkal jelezni kívánták, Magyarországon való jelenlétüket ugyan üzleti érdekek motiválják, de üzleti érdekeik mellett figyelmet fordítanak a magyar kulturális értékek felkarolására is.

Lugosi Lugo László - A ​Dunánál - Budapest / On the Danube - Budapest
Elválaszt ​és összeköt, lomha és fürge, békés és haragvó: a Duna mindig mindent egyszerre mutat és idéz. "Budapest a Duna gyermeke", fordítja ki a közismert képet Sándor Tibor várostörténész, aki a Budapest-sorozat legújabb darabjának, a Duna-könyvnek a szövegét írta. Lugosi Lugo László pedig elindult északról az ő sokat tudó gépével és még többet tudni vágyó kíváncsiságával - és összerakta képekből az ő saját Dunáját, Budapesttel a két oldalon. Kecskék a világvárosban, hát persze; furcsa nézetből a Margitsziget csücske, innen sose látjuk; apró táblán kőbe vésett ujj ("eddig ért az árvíz"); minden ismerős és mégsem. Hiszen láttuk-látjuk nap mint nap a szállodasort - de ki vet egy pillantást a szép ívű kőperemre? Ismerjük a hidak ívét minden szögből - de tán alulról még sose néztük. A Duna ezer színéről már nem is beszélve - amikor a kék sosem kék, de szeretjük annak tudni még. Lugo képei szenvedélyesek, akár a folyó. A sorozat többi darabjához hasonlóan ezt a kötetet is Esterházy Péter vezeti be, aki ezúttal Esti Kornél szájába adja a pontos definíciót: Budapest "dunaváros". A Budapest-sorozat - a Régen és ma, a Zsidó Budapest, és A Vár után - újabb kötettel bővült: a Duna-könyvvel.
