2027 Battle of the Books Titles
Sep 14, 2026
This year’s Battle of the Books competition titles and official editions are provided for team study. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, each team receives a complimentary set of books.
Please note: Thanks to the generosity of our presenting sponsor, each team receives a free set of books with the ISBNs listed below. All competition questions will come from the specific editions with the noted ISBNs. ALL PARTS of those books will be considered fair game for questions.
While books borrowed from Howard County Library System or purchased elsewhere may have slightly different features in the book, the main content is the same.
When reviewing/studying books for features such as illustrations or text features, use the copies given to the team.
