I've heard the BANR annual edition is hit and miss. This, however, was my first year with the series and I thought it was great. It definitely added a few "To-read"s to my list and exposed me to some work I wouldn't have seen any other way.
On the other hand, some of the obligatory inclusions tested one's commitment to read the book cover to cover. I found myself wondering what interesting material could have been included if the entire Iraqi Constitution hadn't made the cut.
