Hugo Award for Best Related Book

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hugo Awards are given annually by members of the World Science Fiction Convention for the best science fiction or fantasy works. The awards are named after Hugo Gernsback, the founder of the pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, and given in various categories.

Winners of the Hugo Award for best related book (previously best non-fiction). This award category is defined in Article 3.3.5 of the Constitution of the World Science Fiction Society as a work, "which is either non-fiction or, if fictional, is noteworthy primarily for aspects other than the fictional text". Awards given in one year are for works released during the previous calendar year.
