The Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year (formerly Dolman Best Travel Book Award 2006-14) is one of the two principal annual travel book awards in Britain, and the only one that is open to all writers. The other award is that made each year by the British Guild of Travel Writers, but that is limited to authors who are members of the Guild. The first Dolman award was given in 2006, just two years after the only other travel book award - the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award which ran for 25 years - was abandoned by its sponsor.〔 From its founding through 2014, the £1,000 to £2,500 prize was organized by the Authors' Club and was sponsored by and named after club member William Dolman.〔 Beginning in 2015, a new sponsor Stanfords, a travel book store, was established along with an increase to £5,000 for the winner. ==Awards== Each year a small number of works are shortlisted and a winner is announced in early July at a dinner gala with the authors and publishers in attendance. = winner ---- Stanford Dolman Travel Book of the Year ---- 2015 *Philip Marsden, ''Rising Ground: A Search for the Spirit of Place'' *Helena Attlee, ''The Land Where Lemons Grow: The Story of Italy and Its Citrus Fruit'' * Horatio Clare, ''Down to the Sea in Ships: Of Ageless Oceans and Modern Men'' *Nick Hunt, ''Walking the Woods and the Water: In Patrick Leigh Fermor's footsteps from the Hook of Holland to the Golden Horn'' *Jens Mühling, ''A Journey into Russia'' *Elizabeth Pisani, ''Indonesia Etc: Exploring the Improbable Nation'' ---- Dolman Best Travel Book Award ---- 2014 *Oliver Bullough, ''The Last Man in Russia'' *Patrick Leigh Fermor, ''The Broken Road'' *Charlotte Higgins, ''Under Another Sky: Journeys in Roman Britain'' *Iain Sinclair, ''American Smoke'' * Sylvain Tesson, ''Consolations of the Forest: Alone in a Cabin in the Middle Taiga'' *Sara Wheeler, ''O My America!'' 2013 *Noo Saro-Wiwa, ''Looking For Transwonderland: Travels in Nigeria'' *Jeremy Seal, ''Meander: East to West Along a Turkish River'' *Kathleen Jamie, ''Sightlines'' *A.
