       They've apparently announced the longlist for the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction -- which they report is: "the richest non-fiction prize in the UK, worth £20,000 to the winner" -- though not yet at the official site, last I checked (presumably it will, eventually, appear here).
       Fortunately, in The Guardian, Liz Bury reports on the eighteen-title strong longlist, in Samuel Johnson prize longlist: history comes first as judges take the long view. Apparently more than 150 titles were considered, and the selections suggest: "Science is out and biography and history are in". I.e. the list is even less interesting than usual to me, and -- no surprise -- not a one of these titles is under review at the complete review (indeed, I have not even seen a one of these).
