The back catalogue
Every winner since 1969.
60 Booker winners across 57 years, 10 International Booker winners, and one Lost Man Booker.
Official Booker Prize site
A note on completeness: the Booker did not publish a longlist before 2001, and for most earlier years we hold the winning book alone — 1 of 60 winners sit in a cycle where we also hold other nominated books. Where a year links through, that page shows what we have; where it doesn't, the winner below is the whole of our record for that year. Page counts and editions for the back catalogue are still being filled in, which is why most entries have no retailer link yet.
