Alberta Trade Book of the Year

In 2003, the Trade Book category was split into two separate awards, Trade Fiction and Trade Non-Fiction, in order to better reflect the difference in skills and understanding of the different markets for these two genres.

This award is presented annually to the Alberta-based publisher producing the best book of non-fiction published primarily for the trade or bookstore market.
