Judging for the 2005 Book Show was held June 24 at Wadsworth in Belmont, California. Approximately 150 books and 80 covers/jackets were submitted for judging according to the criteria listed in the Call for Entries. Each entry was judged on its own merits--regardless of category--and evaluated for its excellence.
Judges for the categories were selected for their knowledge and experience in those areas. These Book Show judges donated a day to judging the Book Show entries and filling out ballots for each entry:
