    The American National Book Awards are one of the most significant literary honors in the United States. They have been presented annually since 1950 and are administered by the National Book Foundation, a publishing industry organization. Winners receive a bronze sculpture and $10,000, but the greatest benefit is often increased book sales, especially for lesser known authors who gain sudden publicity. The summary lists some of the award winners from 2009 to 2004 in several categories including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and young people's literature.
