Treasure Island Wins 1st Place at Alcuin Awards for Excellence in Book Design
From Conversation Tree Press –
I’m immensely pleased to announce that our Standard Edition of R.L. Stevenson’s Treasure Island has won first place at The Alcuin Society Awards for Excellence in Book Design in Canada in the Limited Edition category. This comes after our Deluxe Edition of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan placed second last year.
Treasure Island was designed in close collaboration with Marc Castelli over many months, and the printing and binding were beautifully done by the teams at Nomad Letterpress and Ludlow Bookbinders respectively. I wrote about much of the printing, illustrating, and typesetting of the book in a few blog posts last year.
Marc and I are working on another book together, nautical in theme and in a similar format to Treasure Island.
