Notes

Importer uses the official PROSE Awards winners archive and keeps book-like nonfiction categories relevant to a broad public nonfiction index, including Outstanding Work by a Trade Publisher. It excludes technical, professional, education, reference, journal, and narrow scholarly categories that would otherwise over-weight specialist publishing; finalist PDFs should be imported in a later pass.
