Hachette New Zealand Award for
Best Non-Illustrated Book
Shortlist 2012
 | Designer Anna Egan-Reid Title Janet Frame in Her Own Words by Janet Frame Publisher Penguin Books New Zealand Format 181 x 111mm, 264pp, jacketed hardback, unlaminated Judges’ comments This book is a beautiful object in its own right. We were impressed with the cover – a remarkably intelligent approach. |
 | Designer Sarah Maxey (cover), Katrina Duncan (interior) Title Pieces of Mind: 21 Short Walks Around the Human Brain by Michael C. Corballis Publisher Auckland University Press Format 190 x 140mm, 112pp, perfect binding, paperback with gate folds, matt lamination cover Judges’ comments A beautifully put together, immediately attractive cover. The type has a hand drawn feel, and is almost a part of the cover illustration, rather than being laid on top. |
 | Designer Saskia Nicol Title Tupaia by Joan Druett Publisher Random House New Zealand Format 234 x 153mm, 440pp, unjacketed hardback with printed laminated case, matt lamination, section sewn Judges’ comments The judges all particularly loved the cover of this book; it would make nearly everyone want to pick the book up and leaf through the lovely pages. |
