Booker-verðlaunin
Booker-bókmenntaverðlaunin eru ein virtustu bókmenntarverðlaun heims og eru veitt á hverju ári rithöfundi sem er þegn Breska samveldisins eða Írlands. Booker fyrirtækið stofnaði til verðlaunanna árið 1968. Til að tryggja að einungis fyrsta flokks bækur séu valdar eru dómarar valdir úr einvalaliði gagnrýnenda, rithöfunda og háskólamanna. Síðan 2002 hafa verðlaunin gengið undir nafninu „Man Booker verðlaunin“, vegna stuðnings fjárfestingarfélagsins Man Group plc.. Rússnesk útgáfa verðlaunanna var sett á fót árið 1992.
Forval bókanna getur verið tvenns konar. Bókaútgefendur geta sent inn handrit, eða dómarar geta beðið um að ákveðin handrit eða bækur séu sendar inn. Árið 2003 voru 110 bækur sendar inn af útgefendum, en dómarar báðu um að 10 bókum væri bætt við það.
