Book2Book Monday 30 Nov 2015

The Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-fiction has announced that Edinburgh-based investment management partnership Baillie Gifford is to become primary sponsor of the UK's leading prize for non-fiction books. The agreement with Baillie Gifford will provide substantial support over an initial period of five years, which will enable the prize to build its profile and impact, both nationally and internationally. The award will be renamed 'The Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-fiction'. It will continue to advance the idea that 'all the best stories are true', and will now set its sights on becoming the most pre-eminent solus non-fiction book award in the world.
