The University of Illinois Press hosts the annual Book, Jacket and Journal Show, April 28-May 9, 2014. Sponsored by the Association of American University Presses, nearly 100 books and jackets—the best of university press publishing—are on display for public viewing during the show.

The display is open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays, at the University of Illinois Press, 1325 S. Oak St. in Champaign. All viewings are free and open to the public.

“We are proud to present the annual AAUP Book, Jacket, and Journal Show this year,” says University of Illinois Press Art Director Dustin Hubbart.  “It is an amazing collection of the best designs drawn from all university presses.”

A high quality catalog shows each entry in full color with typographic, paper, printing, and binding information, along with designers’ and judges’ comments. A limited number of catalog copies will be available for free.

Selected titles can also be viewed in the show catalog.
