Book designer & typesetter - inaugural edition of a cloth-bound Irish whiskey annual

BONDED is a new annual reference handbook on Irish whiskey - a cloth-bound, A5 hardback in the editorial tradition of Slightly Foxed and Wisden, with its first edition publishing February 2027. The commission is the full design build: cover and jacket, a reusable interior template system, and the typesetting of around 256 pages in InDesign, with the prospect of recurring annual work for the right person. The attached brief sets out the physical specification, the house palette and type pairing, the cover composition, and the interior architecture in full - it should tell you quickly whether this is the kind of object you'd want to make. I've also attached a rough mockup of the proposed cover design we'd like brought to life. If it appeals, send me a few examples of book or editorial work you're proud of that match what we're looking for here.
