They have been awarded annually in a variety of evolving categories. Fifteen Governors General have served as their patron.

This ground-breaking anthology includes extracts from all 719 books. It gives readers a richly illustrated summary of the stunning variety of titles that have been recognized. Part of a series, the book is also an invaluable literary companion in its own right.
