According to the good folks at the BD Zoom site, Etienne Davodeau's Chute De Velo has won the Prix Des Libraires Canal BD, an award given out by a group of booksellers. What's interesting about this news to me is how the award actually seems to come with stuff that will help the book sell -- cross promotion through all member stores, a guaranteed appearance in a magazine, a depiction of the book on bags used at the establishments, that kind of thing. It's a strategy American awards programs might think about.
