Extra #3: Best Book Design from all over the World 2024

As they do every year, jurors from five countries gathered at the
National Library in Leipzig in early February to select the ’Most
Beautiful Books from around the World’. 550 books from 34
countries – including Austria, Belgium, Canada and Venezuela –
were laid and ready for the jury’s scrutiny. It was also a big
challenge for the current jury - Jianping He (China/Germany),
Päivi Helander (Finland), Isidora Nikolić (Serbia), Alexandra
Stender (Germany) und Scott Vander Zee (USA). For an extra
episode of our podcast, we were allowed to look over their
shoulders during the selection marathon. With big thanks to Dan
Wesker (voice) and Steffen Brosig (editing).


The award-winning books 2024 can be viewed for the first time at
the Leipzig Book Fair (March 21th – April 24th)
