Judging the 2008 Show
Four admired designers gathered at the AAUP offices on January 17 and 18 to look over the submissions for the 2008 Book, Jacket, and Journal Show. With more than 700 entries to wittle down to 76 selected examples of the finest in scholarly publishing design, they had more than enough work for two days.
