Way back in October the OUPblog announced that in honor of the National Book Awards we were hosting a friendly contest, to see who could predict the most winners.
Well, now that the National Book Awards winners have been announced, and congratulations to all the winners, it’s time to share which lucky OUPblog readers will be getting free books in the mail!
In first place with five points was Shawn Miklaucic who gets the big prize, the Historical Thesaurus of the OED.
In second place with two points was Jilly Dybka who will receive a Oxford American Writer’s Thesaurus.
In third place with one point was Christopher Elias who will get a copy of Garner’s Modern American Usage (3rd edition).
A great big thank you to everyone who participated and to all the fabulous authors who wrote books we enjoyed this year. 2009 was chock-full of great literature and we can’t wait to read what you publish next year!
