The Book Sense Book of the Year Award, formerly known as the American Booksellers Book of the Year (ABBY) Award, was inaugurated at BookExpo America 2000. The American Booksellers Association renamed the award in recognition of both a new era in bookselling, heralded by the Book Sense program, as well as the important role that the Book Sense Picks List (formerly the Book Sense 76) has played for independent booksellers in discovering and spreading the word to all stores about books of quality. |
