The Canadian Booksellers Association (CBA) has announced the nominations for its 2007 Libris Awards.

Fellow nominees in the category this year are Coach House Press and Cormorant Books.

The Libris Awards were created to recognize and celebrate the achievements of all those who create, promote and deliver great books to Canadian readers: the authors, editors, publishers, distributors, sales representatives and booksellers.

This year’s winners will be announced at the association’s reception to be held 10 June 2007 during the BookExpo Canada tradeshow in Toronto.
