Dutch term

inspiratieboek

Dutch to English Other Environment & Ecology
The term is being used to describe an end-of-project publication/booklet, setting out key findings and case studies and policy recommendations. Subject area is environmental.

I can't bring myself to call it an inspiration book.

I think the Dutch term is sometimes used in other contexts, like when you're choosing a new kitchen etc.

Could we have the context, please. Depending on this, I think "inspiration book" may be perfectly OK. And you say it's a description, but could it also be a title, as some answerers have inferred?

I ended up going with "inspiration book" after all - but I put it in quotes as a way of showing my disdain!

ideas book

Cuz it contains lots of inspirational ideas...

You could of course call it something dry like "Key Findings and Recommendations", but it sounds as if they'd be disappointed by that.
Note from asker:
“Book of key findings and recommendations” may be dry but I’m seriously considering it!

The Way Forward

An idea for a title.
Note from asker:
I should have made it clearer that this is not the actual title of the publication. But the term is used several times in the introduction to describe the type of publication this is. The Way Forward would have worked well otherwise. I’m starting to think I have no choice but to call it a book of inspiration - maybe I’ll put it in quotes to create a bit of distance!
Peer comment(s):
agree Marijke Singer : If it is indeed a title like I also inferred this one is very good!
