From pastry to poetry, 2014 was another stellar year for NMSG at the New York Book Show. NMSG was recognized for outstanding prepress work on eight award-winning books in various categories. Though NMSG is a perennial winner, this is the most awards we have received at the annual show, which was held September 23 in New York City. All of NMSG's winning titles were published by imprints of Penguin Random House companies.

Knopf during the summer and hit the bestseller lists shortly thereafter.
