Promoting the finest
in Canadian book design
since 1965
The Alcuin Society was founded in Vancouver, BC with the goal of promoting a wider appreciation of beautifully produced books in Canada. We have grown since, hosting hundreds of lectures by domestic and international book artists.
Our Alcuin Society Award for Excellence in Book Design competition aims to encourage a national awareness of book design in the Canadian book industry.
