KBA Press Briefing

November 2009




KBA Rewards Wizard Book

KBA (UK) LTD rewarded Atlantic Books’ magical creativity at the British Book Design and Production Awards 2009.


The market-leading large format press manufacturer presented the publisher with the Trade Illustrated Award for its production of The Wizard of Oz by acclaimed Collage artist Graham Rawle. It featured over 100 collages re-imagining L Frank Baum’s enchanting story.

The award judges said: “This book quite rightly wins this category.  It is truly outstanding in every way.  The illustrations are dark, moody and totally different to anything out there.  The amount of work it has taken to produce this book is clearly visible. Stunning!”

The 304pp, 240mm x 265mm landscape book, printed by Eurasia International, China, also took home the highest accolade of Best Book of the Year.
In deliberating the overall winners the judges said: “The Wizard of Oz was chosen for its ingenious artwork style and exceptionally high standards of production. The more you looked at this book the more you wanted to look. So from concept, through to all aspects of the finished product, design, colour, choice of substrate, print and bind quality this book stood out at every stage and deserves the accolade of Book of the Year.”
Key KBA customer Butler Tanner & Dennis was also recognised for producing The National Cookbook, winner of the Best British Book category.

KBA UK Managing Director Christian Knapp said: “The dedication and creativity of printers and publishers in such a highly competitive and vibrant sector is inspiring. It mirrors the ethos of KBA where technical development is central to our commitment to ensuring we can deliver innovative on-press performance and reliability demanded by our customers.”
