Matt Cole's Richard Wainwright, the Liberals and Liberal Democrats: UnfinishedBusiness, is an account of the life and influence of a Liberal patriarch - one of the handful of MPs who kept the party of Gladstone going until its great revival and reincarnation in the 1980s.
Mr Moore said it meant there was "a bit of unfinishedbusiness" involved in this year's competition and that being put forward was "an absolute honour and we will try our hardest".
