Editorial Board

The Larsen wins on the basis of its illustrations, eminently suited to 
the theme, and well made on a low budget. The Calleja is a more 
sophisticated piece of bookmaking, but less fun to handle, and the 
type is even worse than in the Larsen.

This threatened to be a difficult category to judge, because of the 
disparate nature of the entries. Books ended up here when they fit in 
no other slot. But in the end, few entries didn't fit somewhere else. 
None of them seemed to us to merit a prize, but we awarded 
honorable mention to two.
The first of these is a valiant attempt to handle an almost dadaist 
theatre script; the second is (like the McFadden book to which we 
called attention as a work of prose) deliberately obtrusive, threat­
ening, unbeautiful. Both designs seem admirably faithful to their 
contents.
