In awards news, the 20 stories to win the 2014 O. Henry Prizes
were named, comprising
the contents of the trade paperback collection that Vintage will publish in
September.
Heston Blumenthal's
HISTORIC HESTON won the James
Beard Awards' top prize as cookbook of the year, also winning
the category award for "cooking from a professional point of view,"
and sharing the award for photography. Though Blumenthal is published by
Bloomsbury, Random House imprints claimed 5
of the 13 cookbook awards. Blumenthal's book has a list price of $200 in
its current edition, though Bloomsbury has a $65 edition scheduled for
publication in October.
The Agatha Awards were also presented over the weekend to
honorees in six categories, including Daniel Stashower's THE HOUR OF PERIL:
The Secret Plot to Murder Lincoln Before the Civil War for best nonfiction.
