OK, I've probably spent way too long on this, but here's where to get the BSFA Non-Fiction award nominees. NB that I have changed the quirky alpapetisation of the BSFA annoucnement to my own quirky alphabetisation. NB also that I link to Amazon for convenience, and because of course I get a minuscule bounty if you buy anything from tose links. I have to say that one or two of these are beyond my budget.
My other notes on this year's BSFA long lists:
