2002
Book of the Year
Winners

The Book Sense Book of the Year Award -- formerly known as the "ABBY Award" -- was inaugurated on June 2 at BookExpo America 2000. Winners are chosen by independent booksellers across the country who vote for the titles they most enjoyed handselling to their customers in the previous year.

In 2002, a fifth award, the Rediscovery category was added, to make five in all: Adult Fiction, Adult Non-fiction, Children's Literature, Illustrated Children's Book, and Rediscovery.

The winners were announced at the 2002 BEA in New York City in a ceremony hosted by Barbara Kingsolver!
