How do they pick these, you ask? Well, a 35-person advisory board nominates worthy books for consideration. Nominations are also open to the public in online voting. Design Observer's editors create a jury to judge the nominations and pick the 50 winning books.

The contest began in 1924.

Here are last year's, in case you're interested.
