Description
The Man Booker prize celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2018. Over the year, discover five decades of literary triumphs with this illustrated week-to-view diary of all 51 prizewinning covers.

From the very first winner, P.H. Newby's 'Something to Answer For' in 1969, to Paul Beatty's 2016 runaway success 'The Sellout', take a look behind the scenes at the world's leading literary prize, with all its debate, comment and controversy.
