Chosen through the Croatia Beautiful Book competition, these books will represent Croatia internationally at the Leipzig and Frankfurt Book Fairs.
The competition, organised by the National and University Library (NSK) and the Croatian Designers' Association, received 197 entries. A panel of experts selected the top twelve, highlighting the growing importance of book design as an artistic field.
The books were evaluated based on their typography, cover design, layout, and overall visual identity. Notable selections include Designing in Coexistence, Domaći Stranci – Philosophy of Migration, Drvo – Priče o Pjesmama, Grad je Sinteza, and Ključić, among others. After the fairs, these works will be preserved at the German Museum of Books and Writing in Leipzig.
