As a comment to Brian's message below ... I asked Jim Church and he said
you can nominate more than one - in fact as many as you want, so
nominate away people!

'The Census Atlas of the United States, Census 2000 Special Reports', is particularly noteworthy.
I already nominated 'Glenn Brown's History of the United States Capitol'. No maps, but plenty of plans. It's a superb work.

Hello all!
Please help the ALA Government Documents Roundtable (GODORT) by nominating
outstanding government publications to be featured in the annual notable
documents column of *Library Journal*. This is a wonderful way of
educating and informing the broader library community about the importance
of government information.
Each year the panel selects about 30 notable documents from the list of
nominations. Publications can be from any level of government: federal,
international, state and local, and foreign, and can be in any format:
print, digital, books, maps, CDs, or material published for a government
agency by a commercial publisher.
The form takes only a few minutes to fill out and can be found here:
http://www.ala.org/ala/godort/godortcommittees/godortpublications/notdocform.htm
Information about the history of the program can be found here:
http://www.ala.org/ala/godort/godortcommittees/godortpublications/notdoc.htm
This is a very effective way of publicizing the importance of government
information and to honor the agencies and staff who publish important
documents. The list reaches a very wide audience and is particularly useful
as a selection tool for all types of libraries. If you see a government
document that merits nationwide attention - nominate it! These documents
are subsequently purchased by (and read in) libraries all over the country.
Please contact the notable documents panel chair, Jim Church, if you have
any questions.
Thanks for your assistance!
