Liverpool University Press are pleased to host the AUPresses Traveling Book, Jacket, and Journal Show. The show travels around different universities which have member university presses, and this is the first time in its history that the show is touring the UK.
The show honours excellence in design produced by its member presses. It recognises meritorious achievement in the design, production, and manufacture of books, jackets, covers, journals, and digital publications by members of the university press community. 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of this book show.
In addition to recognising excellent work, the AUPresses Book, Jacket, and Journal Show provides an evaluation of members’ work and serves as a focus of discussion and a source of ideas for intelligent, creative, and resourceful bookmaking. Through the show, the Association seeks to expand the conversation about the essential importance of good design in scholarly publishing.
