The 2012 APA Book Design Awards were announced last night, and we’re delighted to report that brilliant designers Chong and Susan Miller received two awards for the design of Bernard Beckett’s August!

August was judged to be the best YA cover (by Chong) and the best designed children’s book for 2012, and was described as ‘a fantastically clever and disconcerting design’. You can read more about the awards in today’s Sydney Morning Herald.

Congratulations, Chong and Susan!
