Of Wolves and Men (1978)

This listing previously called the work a National Book Award finalist. That is not true for award year 1978 or 1979 so I have deleted the claim. For three years beginning 1980 there were some awards for paperbacks, which were mainly reprints. For that we need award date and category. --P64 (talk) 18:31, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The claim was restored (by a possible COI editor?) but I'm confused because the National Book Awards page now cited says that the book was indeed a finalist. Shouldn't that be proof enough? Valfontis (talk) 01:59, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Award-winning book

He won the National Book Award for Nonfiction for 'Arctic Dreams'. Do you not think there ought to be a page for this work? Valetude (talk) 22:41, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
