FOREWORD
T
he British Book Design and Production Awards represent
the pinnacle of recognising and rewarding excellence
in this field. As their status continues to grow, so
does the number of entries – no fewer than 432 this year.
However, in book design and production at least, it is
possible to have quality as well as quantity. The expertise
and skills on show made the job of judging the entries a
challenging one. Congratulations, therefore, should go to
everyone who made it onto the shortlist. These finalists are the
cream of a very fine crop.
All the categories were strongly contested. The Best Jacket /
Cover Design received the greatest number of entries,
closely followed by Brand / Series Identity. However, it would
be invidious to single out any particular category. All of them
are vital; all showcase professionalism and high standards;
and together, they represent an impressive array of talent.
I would like to thank our judging panel of Steve Burry
(Butler Tanner and Dennis Ltd), Siân Jones (English Heritage),
Theresa Lang (Ricoh Infoprint Solutions), Nathan Taverner
(The Page Design Consultancy Ltd), and Andy Vosper (TJ
International Ltd). Together, the panel brought experience,
insight and acuity to a difficult task.
There could be no Awards without the vital contribution
of all our sponsors, so particular thanks must go to them.
Oxford Brookes University did a great job of processing
the entries, as did Heena Bulsara at the BPIF in organising
the Awards night and making it such a memorable and
enjoyable event.
Finally, we would like to thank you for supporting these
Awards – and for being part of this celebration of the best
of British Book Design and Production.

JUDGES
T
he five members of the judging panel arrived at Oxford
Brookes University in mid-July prepared for two days
of intense debate and decision making. The group
comprised of individuals from a cross-section of the sector, with
the areas of design, manufacture, digital print and retail all
represented. The judges are grateful to the BPIF, Oxford Brookes
University and The Publishers Association for their hospitality and
enthusiasm in hosting and organising this great event.
As is now traditional, the judging process began as an
individual exercise with each judge carefully examining each
entry and selecting those that they felt deserved to progress to
the shortlist in the relevant category. The diversity of the judges’
expertise and knowledge meant that each entry was assessed
in terms of design and layout, the quality of manufacture and
the perceived appeal to the ultimate judge – the consumer!
It should be noted that any judge who had a declared
interest in the production of any particular entry was not
permitted to comment on that entry throughout the judging
process. The subsequent shortlisting of an entry connected to a
member of the judging panel was a result of the consideration
and debate of the remaining members of the panel.
The final stage of the judging process involved a group
discussion, leading to the selection of highly commended and
a winner for each category.
The first day of judging proceeded without incident with
the judging panel able to reach agreement unanimously in
all cases. However, the second day brought much heated
and fervent debate, with one category producing complete
deadlock between the panel members. This was only broken
after much deliberation and careful consideration allowed a
decision to be reached.
For the members of the panel that were attending for
a second year it was interesting to note the ebb and flow
between the categories in terms of both quantity and quality.
The digital print category was very well represented and the
quality was of a very high standard.
However, the Environmental category was less well
supported compared to the offerings of the previous year.
The judging panel hope that you will thoroughly enjoy our
selections and will also help us to celebrate the strength of
British Book Design and Production – as was so powerfully
demonstrated by every entry into this year’s awards.

LOOK&
TOUCH
T
he look and touch: from time immemorial, these two
factors have drawn people to books. There’s no doubt
that the appearance of a book can be as appealing,
beguiling and compelling as the words themselves.
The British Book Design and Production Awards exist to
showcase just such qualities. The book printers’ arts have
been constantly honed – no doubt ever since the words were
written in Latin.
In choosing this year’s theme of “Vultus et Tactus” (with much
appreciated help and advice from Dr. Marina Smyth of the
University of Notre Dame), we wanted to highlight the fact that
real books are still appreciated, valued and even treasured.
Despite e-readers and other digital gadgetry, books will
always be important. We feel that this sums up what this event
is all about.
So here’s to the look and touch of some beautifully
designed and produced books, showcased in this latest set
of Awards. I hope you get as much enjoyment from them as
the people who worked so hard to produce them.

Judges’ comment:
Deserved winner of winners but a tough category for the
judges to call, ultimately we debated two titles at length.
Britain by Bike won the day for its overall presentation
and glorious feel good factor. A great choice of materials
plus imagery coupled with high quality print and binding
that simply demands attention.

Judges’ comment:
Brand identity was strong and carried seamlessly starting
from the cover layout. If you were to see these books
on a shelf there would be no question on the fact this
is a series. Each book was well designed and tailored
to represent the identified business person with creative
symbols carried throughout.

Judges’ comment:
This book is an example of fine binding in the truly classical sense.
The case is beautifully foil blocked and the raised bands on
the spine invoke images of an earlier age. The final bind quality
achieved is exquisite with the use of head and tail bands and
marker ribbon all working together to enhance this. The antique
effect is completed by the untrimmed foredge and tail of the book
which again reinforces the feel of a true craft product.

Judges’ comment:
This limited edition entry really stands out even before you look
inside, physically big at almost A3 and quarter bound cased
it certainly catches your eye. Once in your hands you see
stunning lithographic quality printing on beautiful Mohawk
148 gsm paper which truly emphasises Monet’s work. Superb.

Twiggy:
A Life in
Photographs
National Portrait Gallery
Judges’ comment:
This book is a stunning collection of photographs of
one of the great British icons of the last few decades.
The photographic portraits are particularly impressive
and are printed to an extremely high standard.
The book has been well finished and the use of gloss
lamination on the printed paper case is an interesting
contrast to the matt lamination used on the dust jacket.

This book is a masterful reference work and is strikingly
displayed within its slip case. The content of the book has a
very clear design and layout, it is very well printed with each
item concisely displayed and described. The finish of the book
is completed by the use of quarter binding with the attractively
illustrated printed sides. This is a reference work to be proud of!

Judges’ comment:
The quality and number of entries saw a marked improvement
on last year and there was real strength in depth within this
category. The winning book was beautifully produced with
excellent typography throughout. The choice of paper stock,
use of imagery and attention to detail have resulted in a truly
stunning book.

Judges’ comment:
On a subject that could very easily produce a dry book, the
publisher has produced a fantastic little gem that would grab the
attention of even a non cyclist. Nostalgic in feel yet thoroughly
modern and useable, printed on quality paper it is a great little
package!
