Binding... what keeps all the hard work together.
Without it, is it even a book?
Preserving, protecting and enhancing the content inside, quality bookbinding is truly
a work of ultimate craftsmanship.
With possibilities limited only by our own creativity, this vital step of the book design and production process can lift an average item into something really special, and preserve it to be passed down through generations of readers.
The EN-TE team, building on the success of the Finish theme of 2024 which celebrated the flourishes and effects that printers can use to elevate a book, this year focus on what holds it all together, Bound.
The full list of shortlisted entries and the final winners are also available on the awards website.
The Book of the Night was produced using Northend’s RMGT 920 LED-UV lithographic press, delivering exceptional print quality and consistency throughout. The inner pages were printed on 170 gsm Magno Volume, selected for its matt coated finish and enhanced bulk, creating a premium look and feel.
Three books in one, bound together to make something really special.
For something different, this year we split the Book of the Night into three different sized books.. one introducing the awards and showcasing the overall Book of the Year, one with all the winners, and a third that had all the finalists and index.
It allowed great flexibility to really show off the winners including the judges' comments for each category, whilst still giving the finalist and highly commended books the credit they deserve.
"It was our fifth year collaborating on these awards and it was a great pleasure to work with Northend and Diamond Print Services on something that, even amongst an evening of stunning award winning books, would stand out and show off the amazing capabilities of the British book design and production industry."
