This list is split from National Book Award in a sense. That article history, discussion ( Talk:National Book Award#children), and discussion edit history may be relevant here.
I have rearranged the 1980 to 1983 listings to distinguish the hardcover and paperback awards by layout and other markup.
Do the paperback awards belong here? The 1980 to 1983 winners had been losing finalists for 1979 (two) and 1981 (two) awards in their first editions. In a sense the paperback awards one to three years later were consolation prizes.

The 2009 book-a-day blog at NBF does not explain procedures but does list losing Finalists and Judges for each award. The multiple awards 1980 to 1985 are tacitly explained by subcategory names for the losing finalists, such as "Fiction Finalists that Year" and "First Work of Fiction Finalists that Year" (1985). For 1973 to 1975, the blog entries for both winners include identical lists of losing "Fiction Finalists that Year" and "Fiction Judges that Year" without any mention of the other winner. -- P64 ( talk) 17:49, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
The book-a-day blog in summer 2009 celebrated
"77 Fiction Winners" in 59 years, extended by one entry for 2009 nine months later (
2009). Total 78 in sixty years.
(Today there are
79 thumbnail cover images displayed, ending with the 2010 winner that is not covered in the blog.)
For the same sixty years 1950 to 2009, we now cover 67 winners including unexplained double winners 1973 to 1975 (three), hardcover and paperback winners 1980 to 1983 (four). We do not cover 1980 mystery, western, and science fiction (five) or 1980 to 1985 first novel/first work of fiction (six). Total 78. -- P64 ( talk) 18:05, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
The 1974 co-winners are stated incorrectly, and I don’t know how to fix this in the template offered. The references list the correct info. Could someone please help me fix? 2601:241:8981:3210:40A7:A4C4:BD2A:5297 ( talk) 04:38, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
