Three Percent, the University of Rochester's literature in translation-focused weblog, has chosen nine judges for the 2014 Best Translated Book Awards; they include three booksellers: Sarah Gerard of McNally Jackson, New York City, Stephen Sparks of Green Apple Books, San Francisco, Calif., and Jenn Witte of Skylight Books, Los Angeles, Calif., along with Shelf Awareness's own "soccer editor" and sales rep, George Carroll. Other judges are a translator, an author and several editors.
