Of the 30 finalists, 4 come from OBC presses - 3 from @openbookpublish.bsky.social, & 1 from @lsepress.bsky.social. It's a mark of the quality small, not-for-profit, scholar- & institution-led presses can produce, more than holding their own alongside the largest university presses in the US and UK!
