Havana, was awarded “Book of the Year 2017” and “Best Art Book” by the British Book Design and Production Awards.

The judges comments: “Havana is a stunning large format book, beautifully presented in a cloth covered solander box, with good use of contrasting foil on the cover. The quality of printing on Somerset mould paper is exceptional, and the colourful double page images jump off the page. The book draws the reader in, compelling them to turn every page. Quite simply, Havana is a joy to hold, a delight to look at and a pleasure to handle; making this a truly worthy overall winner.”
