Recognition without exaggeration
Editorial principle
The status of a result matters as much as its name.
Open sources primarily confirm recognition for specific books. Here, a special distinction does not become a win, a longlist does not become a final, and a ranking does not become an award.
Wins and special distinctions
Results where the source explicitly names a book as a winner or records a separate special distinction.
