Samples included creatively themed books, notebooks and a Scarfe cocktail menu with overfoil effects and lovely interactive touches such as postcard and bar bill – a potent tonic for a book sector under attack from cheaper imports and digital editions. And proof that the charm and value of home-produced, beautifully printed and superbly bound books remains undiminished.

Highly commended

Books on the 100 First Women, Aston Martin and Fraser Yachts caught the collective eye of the judges, as did The Kashi House project showing Sikh art. All agreed this sample was “outstanding”. The expert production team at the Croydon company had to perfectly replicate images and gold tints while every section was scrutinised on press.=
