I am not even sure I can phrase this coherently.

Obviously granting a Nebula is intended to show that the writers in SFWA regard the work in question is noteworthy but who is the audience that is supposed to take note that the award went to the works went to? That is, is it something to alert other writers of the work in question or the entire audience of F&SF readers?

I am open to more elegant ways of phrasing that paragraph.

I know several non-fannish SF readers who look for Hugo or Nebula on the book.

At one specialty bookstore we have locally (a mystery store), they have a small SF section and always make sure to note which books won the Hugo and Nebula.

And at Anderson's, an independent bookstore in Naperville, which has a medium sized SF section, but smaller than you'd find at any B&N/Borders, they always list each year's award winners next to the section.
