# SFF Book Awards > A public, read-only guide to award-recognized science fiction and fantasy books. Follow this small index selectively. Reference-page books are selected examples, not complete catalog results. Use MCP or structured exports for exact or exhaustive book queries; keep detailed protocol instructions in the assistant guide. Generated snapshots, not live Goodreads or SFADB state. Dataset metadata updated: 2026-08-28T12:00:22Z. Website export built: 2026-08-28T12:03:42Z. MCP manifest hashes identify their own artifact snapshot; build time and semantic freshness are distinct. Award-specific wins differ from other recognition and a work's wins elsewhere. Recognition genres, work genres, and controlled subgenre taxonomy are separate. Public access requires no authentication. Do not send credentials. This index is descriptive guidance, not access control or a reuse license. ## Reference Documentation - [Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Awards](https://sffawards.com/index.md) - [Reader Guide to the Awards Browser](https://sffawards.com/guide/index.md) - [Use SFF Book Awards with an AI Assistant](https://sffawards.com/use-with-ai-assistant/index.md) - [Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Awards](https://sffawards.com/awards/index.md) - [Science Fiction and Fantasy Subgenres](https://sffawards.com/subgenres/index.md) ## Award Documentation - [Arthur C\.
