The Bill Duthie Booksellers' Choice Award goes not only to the book and author these book mavens deem worthy, but also to the publisher of that book, acknowledging every step of the long, sometimes arduous, but often rewarding process of publishing books. Even more, to be recognized by the booksellers, those unbelievably hardworking champions of the industry, is a special honour indeed. That's why we were so thrilled at the B.C. Book Prizes to be the recipient of this award for Ian McAllister's The Last Wild Wolves. Congratulations to Ian and to Greystone Books for this well deserved award.
