ABCD 2019 Winners!

Judging by the amount of empty cups dotted around the room, a good time was had by all at last night’s Academy of British Cover Design awards; in particular, by those talented ten who won a coveted ABCD book.

All the shortlisted covers were nothing but exceptional and Spine would like to congratulate everyone who entered.

And now, without further ado, here are the winners!
