	Bestseller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In everyday usage, the term bestseller is not usually associated with a specified level of sales, or considered of superior academic value or literary quality, it simply implies great popularity, similar to blockbuster for films and chart-topper in music (although, in film and music, these measures are generally related to sales figures or units sold).
		Therefore, bestsellers are to a degree self-defining, in that identifying a book as a bestseller may be enough to establish it as such in the public mind.
		Bestsellers may also be ranked separately for hardcover and paperback editions.

	MBR: Getting on the Bestseller Lists
		A bestseller book is not like having a popular hit in the music industry; there is no set number that must be sold.
		National bestseller lists (there are several and they do not often agree) are assembled from certain bookstore and other sales reports.
		Bestseller lists are compiled by several periodicals, and they use different methods.

	2blowhards.com: Bestseller Lists
		(Bestseller lists try to account for this with their "weeks on the list" feature.) An example of a very popular book that has never shown up on a general-interest bestseller list is "A Pattern Language," by Christopher Alexander and some colleagues, one of the alltime bestselling books on architecture.
		Bitching and speculating about what the Times might be up to with their bestseller lists is a standard topic of conversation among publishing people, and the interpretation I pass along here is what most people, in my experience, seem to have settled on.
		It's certainly true that the Times' bestseller lists used to be assembled by an old lady whose research consisted of making phone calls to friends at a select number of bookstores (an exaggeration, but only a slight one).

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/New York Times bestseller list
		The New York Times bestseller list is a weekly chart in The New York Times newspaper that keeps track of the "best-selling" books of the week.
		Other readers consider a bestseller to be a lower form of literature, because it must "pander" to the lowest common denominator.
		In 2001, a separate section of the bestseller list was created to track the sale of children's books.

	Poynter Online - Books: A Political Battlefield
		Even though there were no daggers in sight last year when her book "Slander" was on the list for 15 weeks, the paperback edition of that book also has been marked with the dreaded dagger.
		But, as the books on their list show, their methodology is designed to serve an opinion-maker audience, not to reflect the broad range of tastes and categories that can be found in book publishing.
		In my view, no matter which side controls more slots on the bestseller lists, neither the liberals nor the conservatives are winning.

		She had seen me reading Brian Moynahan’s God’s Bestseller as we sat waiting in the jury pool and asked me what it was about.
		God’s Bestseller is ultimately a reckless book for its libel of More, but it is partially redeemed by its drawing attention to an episode of English history that no student of the Reformation, Catholic or Protestant, can afford to ignore.
		God’s Bestseller, then, is a sobering reminder that the old passions of the Reformation can reignite, even in an ecumenical age.

		Sensitively and yet candidly written, Bestseller covers all aspects of creative writing from starting as a novice to an established writer meeting a block.
		Bestseller is more than how to book, it is a page turner worth reading in its own right for the understanding it gives of the process of writing novels, great characters, great novels and their place in contemporary literature.

	What is a Bestseller?
		The first thing most people see when they hear the word bestseller are dollar signs.
		Bestselling novels span the entire range of genres from horror to romance to science fiction to mystery to thriller.
		Perhaps the term "bestseller" first came into common use in the 1960's and 70's when authors Jacqueline Susann and Sidney Sheldon broke new ground in popular literature with their novels, "Valley of the Dolls" and "The Naked Face." But the bestselling phenomenon isn't restricted to the last sixty years.

		God knows who buys those books in sufficient numbers to get them bestseller status, but there you have it: The typical bestseller list —; and there are many — does not paint a pretty picture of literate America.
		In fact, how bestseller lists are compiled is always a closely guarded secret, not just at The Times but everywhere.
		All of which is why, behind the scenes, there's always grumbling about the accuracy of the major bestseller lists by those with a stake in them.

	Oprah club bestseller's accuracy questioned - The Boston Globe
		The Smoking Gun, a website famous for posting mug shots and embarrassing documents about the rich and infamous, is alleging that James Frey's best-selling memoir ''A Million Little Pieces" contains numerous ''wholly fabricated or wildly embellished" details.
		According to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks publishing sales, ''A Million Little Pieces" sold 1.77 million copies last year, second only to ''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." Fueling those sales was Oprah Winfrey, who named it the October selection for her Book Club.
		A sequel to ''A Million Little Pieces," ''My Friend Leonard," was published in June and also became a bestseller.

		The Supreme Court is not often the stuff of bestsellers, but in recent weeks a conservative lawyer's full-throated attack on the court has been flying off the shelves, reaching as high as third place on the New York Times bestseller list.
		The 288-page book, "Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America," by Mark R. Levin, arrived amid expectations of a pitched battle in Washington over a replacement for ailing Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist.
		"The fascinating thing is that it's a bestseller on a subject where 100 percent of us who present ourselves as experts haven't read it," said David Garrow, a law professor at Emory University who has written widely on Supreme Court history.

		Slander, conservative Ann Coulter's bestseller about ''liberal lies'' gets counter-punched by the left at the hands of fact-checking critics on the Web.
		The footnotes Coulter extols are the very weapons being used to attack her.
		Coulter's favorite target in Slander is the New York Times (though presumably she wouldn't argue with the accuracy of its bestseller list), followed closely by Bill Clinton (whom she calls a rapist), Al Gore and every television network except Fox.

	Salon Technology \| Who owns the New York Times bestseller list? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		On the Net, fighting to hang on to every last chunk of intellectual property is a recipe for stagnation and failure.
		Now there is precious little the Times could -- or would -- do to stop your neighborhood bookstore from clipping the bestseller list from the back of the Times Book Review and posting it on the wall with a "SALE" sign over a row of discounted books.
		At some point, the pragmatic tradition of "fair use" fades into the much more suspect zone of "rip-off." Furthermore, if you think of the Times' bestseller tally as essentially a database rather than a simple list, then presenting it on the Web becomes a little more questionable.
