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.

  • Welcome Tofriesens!
    welcome to friesens! While at Friesens, we want your color approval experience to be a pleasant one. While we view every project that enters our plant as important, having you in- house for a Press Check on your project provides a unique, interactive opportu- nity for our employee-owners to better meet and hopefully exceed your highest print expectations. If you are doing a Press Check for the first time, the task may appear to be a daunting one. However, rest assured we’ve done it many, many times and we will use that experience to make it seem like you’ve been doing Press Checks forever. If you're a Press Check 'veteran', we look forward to your input and collaboration. EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION PRESSCHECKSThe key to a smooth Press Check is communication. We will meet with you before your Press Check begins to discuss your particular objectives. We will ask you if you want help from our Press Operators and if you know what is–and what is not –possible on press. Please feel free to ask any questions about terms, procedures and events that you don’t understand. Page sequence, color registration and marks are common concerns. If there are some critical elements of a book that need special attention, be sure to let our operator know. All information you give to us is valuable…so please don’t hold back. If there is more than one person coming to do the Press Check, it is helpful for our operators to have a clear understanding of who will make the final decision, as we all see color a little differently.

  • Nudging Public Policy to Promote Growth in the Social Enterprise Sector: a Manitoba Case Study
    Nudging Public Policy to Promote Growth in the Social Enterprise Sector: A Manitoba Case Study by Maria C. Gheorghe A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2021 by Maria C. Gheorghe Abstract Social enterprises are important for local economic development in Canada and have an impact that goes far beyond their financial contributions to the economy. As a relatively new field though, public policy is needed to help grow the social enterprise sector. The purpose of this thesis is to assess whether nudging, an approach from behavioural economics, could used as part of public policy aimed at promoting growth in this sector. To answer this question, this thesis engages in a case study of the Manitoba Social Enterprise Strategy (MSES) and its related policy documents (MSES 2017 and MSES 2018). This thesis uses MSES Pillar 3: Expand Market Opportunities as a litmus test for whether nudging, vis-à-vis public policy, can promote growth in Manitoba’s social enterprise sector. Nudging is defined using the framework of choice architecture, addressing non-financial barriers, and experimentation. The key findings of this research are that nudging is already a part of successful public policy which helps promote growth in Manitoba’s social enterprise sector and opportunities exist to use nudging to expand market opportunities for local social enterprises. Both these findings support this thesis’ central argument that nudging should be used to promote growth in the social enterprise sector.

    PEOPLE ARE TALKING … Rick Frishman is one of only ten people who understand and have mastered the book publishing process—I have counseled with him, listened to him, and watched the books he promoted turn to gold.

She went beyond her original job description, always making sure all my needs were met. Her integrity was exemplary. Not only did we collaborate and complete my book, she then led me through the publishing aspects and now the marketing. I am truly grateful for Judith and her gifts, insights and knowledge. My book would not have happened without her! I highly recommend. —Lynn Hellerstein, author of See It. Say It. Do It! John Kremer is Staggering. No one tells the author these things—not the publisher, not the writer’s rep. Just John Kremer. —John Robert Marlow, screenwriter and author of Nano Rick Frishman is one of the most well-connected people I know.

Altona is still in All areas of production saw increases, including sheetfed the throes of winter.

However, the days have been getting 33 percent, and digital impressions up five percent. Softcover longer for almost two months now, and we can see spring on units bound were up 31 percent, and hardcover books bound the horizon. were up 10 percent. We increased the number of jobs we shipped by only two percent, because our run lengths increased, while at the same time, we were able to reduce by half the number of jobs missing delivery dates. We know how important it is that the books are in your hands, not ours, so this is an area in which we want to improve again in 2019. Due to the vagaries of plant loading, we cannot always guarantee the fastest schedule, but we want to hit the date we give you. Given the optimism in the market and some paper price increases that were implemented in 2018, we are budgeting for a seven percent sales increase for 2019. In order to achieve this and to increase our on-time delivery, we are again investing heavily in new equipment and technology.
