For the annual Best Book Designs competition and the exhibition at the Temporary Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, thirty books published in the Netherlands in 2009 were selected for the quality of their design, typography, printing, illustration, and production.

This book contains extended photographic profiles of the winning books, plus an illuminating introduction and judges' report. The diversity of both the books and the exhibition's focus makes for an inspirational directory of contemporary trends and innovations, essential for those who care about graphic design in general and appealing books in particular.
