The PubWest Book Design Awards recognize superior design and outstanding production quality of books, e-books and book mobile apps in 25 categories, as well as an overall Judges’ Choice Award selected from among the winners in each category. The Design Awards winners were judged on typography, jacket and cover design, interior design, format, selection of materials used, and printing and binding production quality. PubWest president Bill Fessler congratulates the winners and says “books can and should be fine- ly crafted artifacts. The paper, ink, fonts, layout, design, binding, and other special elements combine to create both pleasure and utility for the reader. The PubWest Design Awards recognize those who have excelled in creating unique publications, in several subcategories of fiction, non- fiction, illustrated, digital, and children's books.” The winner of this year’s Judges’ Choice Award is The Language of Family: Stories of Bonds and Belonging, a beautifully designed book from the Royal BC Museum featuring 20 different contributors who share their vastly different perspectives on what family means. For winning the Judges’ Choice Award, Royal BC Museum will receive one free registration to PubWest 2019. Winners will also be recognized at the 2019 PubWest Conference to be held February 7–9 at the La Fonda on the Plaza, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
