Reginald's Science Fiction and Fantasy Awards: A Comprehensive Guide to the Awards and Their Winners (Borgo Literary Guides) - Hardcover
From Library Journal
This comprehensive listing of awards in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres provides a wealth of information in an easy-to-use format. The first part lists English-language awards, including Australian, British, and Canadian prizes. Part 2 focuses on foreign-language awards, while part 3 consists of nongenre awards (such as the Carnegie and Newbery medals) which have occasionally been given to sf or fantasy authors. Within each section, entries are arranged alphabetically by award and chronologically by award year. Awards for films, illustrators, and periodicals are also included. Each award is prefaced by a brief--and sometimes anecdotal--history. Separate indexes of authors and awards are included as well as listings of officers of both the Science Fiction Writers of America and the Science Fiction Research Association. Unlike Literary and Library Prizes (Bowker, 1980. 10th ed.) or World of Winners (Gale, 1988), which include only major genre awards such as the Hugo and Nebula prizes, this volume lists 126 separate awards, including one-time-only endeavors. Revised from the 1981 edition to add awards through 1990, this is of interest to both the genre specialist and the browsing fan. Libraries with strong sf and fantasy interest groups among their patrons may benefit from acquiring this supplementary title.
