Ex-libris takes a deep dive into the choices behind twelve books that have been included in Best Dutch Book Design selections between 2020 and 2025. Every decision made ends up being responsible for how you as a reader respond to a book, from the paper weight and texture, printing techniques, the stiffness of the spine, any finishings used within the book. In Ex-libris book makers of these twelve books take you on a journey into their decisions, their view on books but also collaboration between the fields. Book making is not something you do alone.
