2008 British Sports Book Awards
The British Sports Book Awards are run by the National Sporting Club. The Club is perhaps most famous for its founding members, the Earl of Lonsdale and the Marquis of Queensberry who went on to write the rules of professional boxing still in use today. There are now seven Sports Awards, with the Best Rugby Book category being added for 2008.
