•  Scholarly typographic books
•  Scholarly illustrated books
•  Trade typographic books
•  Trade illustrated books
•  Poetry and literature books
•  Reference books
•  Journals
•  Jackets and covers (of books and journals)

‘There is so much knowledge and creativity in this community,’ said Wendy McMillen, Production and Design Manager at the University of Notre Dame Press, who, along with Mindy Basinger Hill, Art Director at the University of Washington Press, co-chaired this year’s Book, Jacket, and Journal Show Committee. ‘The AUPresses Book, Jacket, and Journal Show gets better every year!’

An exhibition of the selected entries is expected to travel to member presses from September 2023 through May 2024.”
