A book is the longest commitment a reader makes to a piece of design, and the cover is what wins that commitment at the shelf. The designer sets a typographic system a reader can live in for three hundred pages and a cover that sells the book at thumbnail size, for the publisher's list and the reader's shelf. American Bar Association Design Marketing Department and MAUGEDESIGN, LLC share the lead for books in 2026 with 2 winning projects each. The firms with the most GDUSA awards for books in 2026 are ranked below, each with one of its winning projects. Open any firm to see all of its work.
