Comments: And as quickly as it had vanished in 2009, the Best Art Book category returned to the Locus Awards as an independent entity in 2011. As always, there appears to be no rhyme or reason available to explain the sudden appearances and disappearances of this award category. Suffice it to say that the category is back for now, and seems to be back to stay. Of course, one could have said that before and one would have been wrong, so we'll just have to see.
