| Judges’ Comments Choices concerning book size and production values give this wonderful book a real 'wow' factor, with gilt blue edges its crowning glory. Typography is applied with confidence, without ever overpowering the content. The temptations of the large format must have been high and the designer showed great restraint. | ||
