Schoff said that because the show travels throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Asia, he expected to exhibit exhibited book contest in the world.

"The books not only must have good art and design, but a real feeling for the scholarly content of the book."
SUSAN SCHOTT. MARKETING manager for University Press of Kansas, said the books were chosen for their aesthetics, rather than editorial content.
"The best book design is subtle. It doesn't have to be real flashy," she said.
On the record
Because the books are not in a glass display case, visitors can examine the books and compare their opinions with those of the designers and judges, which are compiled in an exhibit catalogue.
