Bestbookdesignfromallovertheworld

Best Book Design from all over the World competition has been held since 1963 with the aim to encourage international dialogue on book design.

In 2024 the jury awards the book Walking as Research Practice with the GOLDENE LETTER, the highest mention. It was previously honored in both the Dutch and Swiss book design competition. The title is published by Soapbox and designed by Jana Sofie Liebe.

The jury comments:

»A small but significant work; a uniquely bound, hand-held opus in which tactile paper, a rough hence vibrant edge and a perfectly imperfect form add up to a whole that evokes emotion and inspiration: Walking as Research Practice demonstrates in an unobtrusive way what design is all about. Designer Jana Sofie Liebe and managing editor Lynn Gommes have created a book about walking that’s ideal for reading while walking, waiting or standing.«

In addition to the highest award, the »Goldene Letter«, another 13 books from China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Norway and Switzerland were awarded.

The exhibition consist of all the 14 books which visitors are welcome to browse through.

The exhibition is a collaboration with The Association of Graphic Designers in Iceland and Stiftung Buchkunst.
