Alcuin Society Book Design Winners Announced

Congratulations to Jason Dewinetz’ Greenboathouse Press for a well-deserved first place win in the 2020/2021 Alcuin Society book Design Awards Limited Edition category for Arranging Furniture, a compilation of compositions created with printing furniture (i.e., wood cut to specific lengths and widths, below type height, used to fill in blank spaces and to provide surfaces to lock up against in a forme) – in other words, a very creative and atypical use of furniture. Standard copies available, contact the press.

Likewise, congratulations to Crispin, Jan, & Apollonia Elsted for the third place win earned by Barbarian Press for Sudden Immobility, poems by Molly Holden and illustrated with wood engravings by Andy English. Standard copies available, contact the press.

Both books are phenomenal works of craftsmanship, design, and in Sudden Immobility’s case, choice of text, and well worth acquiring while copies remain. Word to the wise!
