Barry R. Levin, the noted fine and antiquarian bookseller, has announced the winners of the 18th Annual Collectors Award:

JACK VANCE
the Collectors Award for 2005 for
MOST COLLECTABLE AUTHOR OF THE YEAR

HILL HOUSE, PUBLISHERS
the Collectors Award for 2005 for
MOST COLLECTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR:
the Lettered State of AMERICAN GODS by Neil Gaiman

DANIEL J. H. LEVACK
the special
LIFETIME COLLECTORS AWARD
for his outstanding bibliographic contributions to the study of the works of L. Sprague De Camp,  Philip K. Dick, Frank Herbert, Jack Vance, and Roger Zelazny

Considering that Levin is a bookseller, and he aparrently decides who wins each year all by himself, this looks a lot like "the things I sold a lot of last year." But awards are always nice, and congratulations to Jack Vance. (And thanks to Robert J. Sawyer, whom I heard the news from.)
