Recognition of the production and design work of general trade publishing is celebrated each year at BolognaBookPlus.

The showcase centres around one title published across many international editions: War and Peace in 2024, 1984 in 2023, The Handmaid’s Tale in 2022. Jackets Off! examines the different interpretations of contemporary classics across cultures and languages.
The 2025 chosen title is The Great Gatsby, Scott Fitzgerald.
Talking Pictures is a collaboration between BolognaBookPlus, Hamelin Association and Steven Guarnaccia that explores the cultural importance and ongoing impact of the contemporary international visual book. It comprises a showcase, a jury, and a seminar with a jury discussion.
