2018 Design Roundup
2018 was a wonderful year for Onça Publishing, in particular because I finally published Onça's edition of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! But that's not all this year was made of. In fact, I got so busy I forgot to post Design Roundups almost all year!
So here are all the books that came out since the last roundup post with my design and typesetting work in them! (And this year, I will try to share my books as soon as I get them!)
