CHAPTER

The Mystery of the New York Times' Bestseller List

This chapter discusses the concept of being a New York Times' bestseller and how it is often used loosely without a clear definition. It delves into the different categories and genres within the bestsellers list, the power and prestige it brings, and the undisclosed method of calculation. The chapter also touches upon the motivations behind telling the truth or lying, the exclusion of certain genres, and the low number of book sales required to become a best selling author.
