The nominees for the 42nd NAACP Image Awards were recently announced. Because of the length of the press release, I broke it up over several posts on my other website Negromancer (http://www.negromancer.com/). I'm posting the book award nominations here. The Image Awards show will be broadcast live Friday, March 4, on FOX.
