Among the winners at the 2009 AIGA BoNe (Best of New England) Show Awards was this series of books published by Boston Review with the MIT Press. The designers are Alex Camin and George Restrepo.

George Restrepo is the art director of The Improper Bostonian, and Alex Camin is the creative director at Da Capo Press/Perseus Books Group. Here’s another of Camin’s cover designs: 

 

      

 

I really like another MIT Press book that also won a BoNe Award: Camps: A Guide to 21st-Century Space, by Charlie Hailey. According to the press’s website, Hailey examines “how camp spaces are informed by politics and transform the ways we think about and make built environments.” Leaving the bookboard and stitches exposed was a great idea!
