The New England Book Show is an annual juried show that features a number of categories, including trade, juvenile, college and more, for work in both print and digital media. Winning books are selected for their design, quality of materials, and workmanship. The winning entries are displayed at a festive dinner, where attendees receive a handsome catalog containing photos, specifications, and production credits for each winner.
Also, Scott D. Meyers (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) will be honored as the 2015 recipient of the W.A. Dwiggins Award. Each year, Bookbuilders of Boston presents the Dwiggins Award to an individual in the book industry who has made the most outstanding contribution to book building in New England.
Doors open at 5:00 pm. Dwiggins Award presentation at 5:30; dinner at 6:30.
Tickets are $35 for Bookbuilders members, $45 for nonmembers, and $15 for students. A bulk discount is also available this year for companies who want to purchase tickets for several employees to attend.
