The competition “The most Beautiful Swiss Books” was launched in 1943, when a jury of five experts selected the 25 most beautiful or best executed books. It is now a long established annual event of almost international renown, certainly amongst graphic designers and typographers, and it is organized by the Swiss Federal Office of Culture.
The “The Most Beautiful Swiss Books 2009″ are currently on view at the The Museum für Gestaltung Zurich. The exhibition is running until July 4th.
