 Dwiggins Award
In the 1956-1957 season the Bookbuilders
membership voted to give an award to an individual in the book
industry for the most outstanding contribution to book building in
New England. After the death of our extraordinary member W.A.
Dwiggins in 1956, it was further voted to name the award in his
honor. In so doing, the membership set a very high standard of
excellence for the annual selection of individuals.
The Dwiggins Award honors the unusual contribution of one person out
of a community of highly skilled and active people. It is awarded to
someone who exemplifies the ideals of Bookbuilders; has the highest
personal standards of craftsmanship and devotion to his/her work;
has demonstrated an interest in and service to the bookbuilding
community; has given "something extra" to his/her job or to
Bookbuilders in terms of talent, brilliance, integrity, devotion, or
helpfulness to others; and compares favorably with previous Dwiggins
Award recipients. Nominations are welcome from anyone and the
selection is made by a small Committee of active Bookbuilders.

Those who have
received the W.A. Dwiggins award over
the last
fifty years have been
carefully selected for their
outstanding devotion to their craft and
their community.
The 2011 Dwiggins Award winner is:
Sarah Bodden Kopec
