| Judges’ Comments Bold decision-making makes this book stand out in a crowded genre. Choices about the typography and colour perfectly capture the period of the subject matter, while remaining utterly contemporary. Dig below the surface of the perfectly balanced jacket to discover the stunning case design and connecting endpaper. This complete design has considered every detail and is stronger for it. | ||
