Just checked the website that was far too slick and fussy to my liking.
Does anyone have a link to the final Awards and the Grand Prix?
I was hoping the WA or TAS dispays got it, as both took my breath away!

One for John - will mail out with other stuff.
I should mention the PAPER this is printed on is super high grade. My guess is it is 150 GSM type thickness, so not only looks and feels superb, but will last well.
Each book packed weights about 3 kilos, giving you an idea to large size.
