THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CZECH BOOKS OF 2015

Every year the Association of Printing Industry Entrepreneurs awards prizes for the most beautiful books printed and bound in the Czech Republic. This year, we received one of them for the book Praha v srdci (Prague in the Heart). The jury commended the high quality of this beautiful hardcover book, especially the highly professional black and white printing of text and illustrations, that we are very pleased with. Indeed, printing in black and white is sometimes more difficult than printing in colour! We are grateful for our long-term outstanding cooperation with Práh Publishing House and our thanks go to the author of the book and to all our employees as well. We wish both the publishing house and the author much success in the future!
