British Book Trade Awards

BRITISH BOOK TRADE AWARDS

The only awards to honour all sectors of the book business, the British Book Trade Awards has created a platform for the trade to recognize and reward its own for the last 17 years. Leading booksellers and publishers have stepped up over the years to collect their gold trophy, the now famous and much coveted Nibbie, and thousands more have gone along to cheer and soak up the atmosphere at the most enjoyable night out in the book trade calendar.
