The New York City Book Awards were presented at a ceremony and reception on May 14, 2008. Jury Chair Constance Rogers Roosevelt welcomed attendees and Library trustee Laurence Bergreen offered remarks and spoke of his own fortunate finds and experiences with archival research, a theme that links this year's two winning books. Jury members Elizabeth Barlow Rogers and Roger Pasquier presented the awards.

Michael Lorenzini, winner for New York Rises and Curator of Photography at the New York City Municipal Archives, gave a brief presentation on the life and career of Eugene de Salignac, the subject of his book. Trying Leviathan author D. Graham Burnett, who is an Associate Professor of History at Princeton University, was unable to attend, but his wife Christina Burnett, a professor of law at Columbia, gracefully accepted for him.
