Hugo Award for Best Non-Fiction Book
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Hugo Award for Best Related Work.
It was originally titled the Hugo Award for Best Non-Fiction Book and was first awarded in 1980. In 1998 the Award was retitled to the Hugo Award for Best Related Book, and eligibility was officially expanded to fiction works that were primarily noteworthy for reasons besides their fictional aspects. In 2010, the title of the award was again changed, to the Hugo Award for Best Related Work. In addition to the regular Hugo awards, between 1996 and 2025, Retrospective Hugo Awards or "Retro-Hugos" were available for works published 50, 75, or 100 years prior. Retro-Hugos could only be awarded for years after 1939 in which no awards were originally given. The Retro-Hugo for Best Related Work was awarded for 1945 and 1954.
