Talk:Boston Globe–Horn Book Award

Table style
The order of listing is alphabetical through 2005 (thus "Picture Book last") but "Picture Book first" from 2006.

I noticed that while tinting the table row for every Picture Book. Tint does help demarcate years or follow a category from year to year.

I have also tinted the table row for every Special Citation. Were those simply fourth books that seemed too good to pass over; that is, runners up in one of the three categories?

A sole Author-Illustrator is named in both the Author and Illustrator fields (examination of the whole table shows clearly). The Illustrator field is empty for 1997 and 2011, which means that an editor overlooked the convention or didn't know the illustrator. --P64 (talk) 18:51, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * (That is, anyone who deserves writing and illustration credit for a book should be named in both columns.)


 * Two of the 2014 winners have doubly common names, Peter Brown and Andrew Smith. I found some of their vital data at Library of Congress Authorities (see hidden WP:COMMENTs) and disambiguated them by middle initial.

Winners and Honor Books
I have added the official list of past Winners and Honor Books as a reference. While visiting that page I confirmed that Hamilton and Young are three-time winners, as we say. (Hamilton is once mis-spelled on the official list, only two hits; there are four hits for Ed Young including one Honor Book.) I did not check any other listings. --P64 (talk) 01:54, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
