| - | ===Early awards won by nonfiction books=== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The National Book Awards for 1935 to 1940 annually recognized the "most distinguished" or "favorite" book of General Nonfiction or simply Nonfiction. In 1935 and 1936 there was distinct award to the most distinguished Biography; both winners were autobiographies. Meanwhile, four of the six general nonfiction winners were autobiographical and one more was a biography. Furthermore, all books were eligible for the "Bookseller Discovery" and "Most Original Book" (two awards); nonfiction winners are listed here. In 1937 and 1939 alone, the ''New York Times'' reported close seconds and runners up respectively.<ref name=nyt1936/><ref name=nyt1937/><ref name=nyt1938/><ref name=nyt1939/><ref name=nyt1940/><ref name=nyt1941/> | ||
