Conversation Snippets

Appearing as part of the Student Selection of the Best Dutch Book Designs 2020, this small but intriguing book gathers a selection of quotes from conversations with the authors, artists, and designers whose books have been recognised for their superiority in form, aesthetic, and production. Out of almost 300 titles, the five members of the student jury selected 30 books as “best”. It was an eye-opening learning experience. Besides the jury report, which details each awarded publication, the snippets of conversation included in this book offer rare insight into the personalities, opinions, and decisions of the creators, producers, and designers responsible for the selected books.
