The BookPeople Awards recognises three Australian new release books our booksellers have selected as their favourite hand-sells in the previous year.
The BookPeople Bookseller awards recognise the unique role played by booksellers in distributing learning, ideas, and literature to communities across the country.
The BookPeople Book of the Year Awards recognises the books that booksellers most enjoyed reading and handselling during the previous year.
We believe this is a special award because it is decided by the people who personally recommend and care enough to put a book in the hands of the reading public.
