Judges’ comments A solid and confident design, from the playful title typography and colour over a perfectly selected and cropped photo, to the immaculate typesetting throughout, finished with contrasting endpapers and head and tailbands. A larger debossed title under the jacket underlines the overall care taken with the design of this memoir.
