Saskatchewan publishers took home nine of thirteen of the Saskatchewan Book Awards, which were presented at the SBA Gala on Saturday, 28th April at Conexus Arts Centre in Regina. But rather than try to wax eloquent about how awesome this is, we thought just showing you the books and telling you what they won is a pretty good idea.

We’ve launched a new program at the Book Fair at Congress 2011. The Saskatchewan Scholars series is a photographic essay being published on Facebook. It highlights scholars who are from Saskatchewan, who studied in Saskatchewan, who taught in a Saskatchewan University, or just anyone who comes into our 10×10 booth space (which we have annexed in the name of Saskatchewan fir the duration of the Book Fair).
