Many book prizes and literary awards honor recently published titles, but the Folio Society - the organization behind the UK's Folio Prize - has come up with a way to highlight titles from the past as well.
Starting this week, the Folio Society - the title sponsor for the £40,000 Folio Prize for fiction published in the UK - taps into its distinguished Academy of writers and critics to bring attention to "books that could have been worthy winners of the Folio Prize had it existed in the past."
