National Book Tokens Nonfiction Book of the Year

Nonfiction represents a large proportion of the output of Irish publishers. It was therefore crucial to reward such books and this ambition was achieved in 2006 when Argosy book wholesalers joined the first expansion of the Irish Book Awards. Since then, the award has gone from strength to strength, and now we are delighted it is sponsored by National Book Tokens.
