Juror Comments
This is one of my favorite books. It has a striking cover, and the eclectic interior is really well paced. There are a blend of bold and delicate moments. Effective use of paper choices for different sections, and additional plates communicate epic scale. It really feels effortless but I know a lot of work went into it to make it look good. —Silas Munro
