"2017’s submissions for ‘The Best Dutch Book Designs’ were of a high standard. The jury’s selections reflect some clear trends, such as intensive crowdfunding, designers who have also taken on publishing, and the shift away from reading to a culture based on images.
Designed by Studio Rob VAN HOESEL, this detailed review of the 33 finalists offers a special tribute to the printed form, with subjects ranging from salamanders and urban and spatial analyses, to artists’ books and a fairy tale-like adventure.
Among them are books by Marjan TEEUWEN, Anne GEENE & Arjan DE NOOY, Henk WILDSCHUT, Gorilla Collective, Natasha Ginwala, Willem VAN ZOETENDAAL, and more." (publisher's note, © 2017)
