Since 1934, Svensk Bokkonst (the Swedish Book Art Association) has selected 25 books that stand out among the year’s publications. A jury of experts in all areas of book production evaluates both form and function. The aim is to promote and inspire high-quality production of printed books

This year’s winners encompass books from various genres. We would especially like to congratulate Olle Essvik, lecturer at HDK-Valand, whose multidisciplinary work ‘Göra, gömma och förstöra: en handbok om böcker’ (Make, Hide and Destroy: A Handbook on Books) is among the selected books. Special congratulations also go to our former colleague Theo Ågren, who has been recognised for his biography of the potter and artist Birger E. Nilsson.

Svensk Bokkonst consists of 16 member organisations representing various sectors of the book industry. HDK-Valand is one of them.
