Shortlist for the British Book Design & Production Awards 2019 announced

The BPIF are thrilled to announce the shortlist for the British Book Design and Production Awards (BBD&PAs) 2019.

The BBD&PAs exist to promote and acknowledge the innovation of both book design and production. Our panel of judges - who are selected from design, publishing, production and print - gathered for two full days of intense judging with our partners at Oxford Brookes University. The winners of each category will be announced on Thursday 21 November at the Awards ceremony, which will take place at the prestigious Landmark Hotel in Marylebone, London. As well as having a winner for each of the
categories listed below, one book will also be crowned the overall Book of the Year. The Awards are a key night in the calendar for the industry to come together and celebrate the best of the best in design and production.

A big thank you to our sponsors and supporters for all their dedication to and support of the Awards. Early bird tickets will be on sale shortly, but for all up-to-date information, please visit www.britishbookawards.org

The BPIF would like to thank its sponsors: Canon, Fedrigoni, IFS, Muller Martini, Publiship, The Printing Charity, Winter & Co - and supporters, BookMachine, Oxford Brookes University, The Bookseller and The Publishers Association.
