Ingram wuz robbed!
I totally agree with Martin. If the award is for the boxes themselves, Ingram is the clear winner. Harper wouldn't even place on my list. But at least Holtzbrinck didn't place. Those boxes used to drive me crazy. I mean, who came up with that non-standard size!!?
Boxes that can stand up to book weight and clunking around are hard to come by! I like the Random boxes, personally. From my own bookstore days, I also remember liking the Bookazine boxes.
