Extra #5: Best Book Design from all over the World 2025

As they do every year, jurors from five countries gathered at the
National Library in Leipzig early February to select the ‘Most
Beautiful Books from around the World’. 550 Books from more than
30 countries were laid and ready for the jury’s scrutiny. It was
also a big challenge for the current jury - Shin Akiyama (Japan),
Giulia Boccarossa (Italy), Birna Geirfinnsdóttir (Iceland), Ákos
Polgárdi (Hungary) and Astrid Seme (Austria). For an extra
episode of our podcast, we were allowed to look over their
shoulders during the selection marathon. With big thanks to
Louise Bromby (voice), Steffen Brosig (editing) and the team of
Stiftung Buchkunst.


The award-winning books 2025 can be viewed for the first time at
the Leipzig Book Fair (March 27th – March 30th)
