Australian book awards

Awards help spread the word about good books and even good book design.

 Book Design Awards : It's not surprising that the Penguin publication, "Plenty: Digressions on Food", designed by Sandy Cull, was the winner of the Lamb Print Best Designed Book of the Year and the Better Read than Dead Bookshop Best Designed Literary Non-fiction Book at the Australian Publishers Association 53nd Book Design Awards in May 2005. This is a beautiful book and Gay Bilson is an excellent story teller. Plenty: Digressions on Food, Gay Bilson, ISBN: 1-92098903-X.

Sandy Cull spoke on the subject of book design at the 2005 Sydney Writers' Festival.
