Deep dives

Understanding Bestseller Lists

Many bestseller lists, including the New York Times, operate differently than one might expect, as they do not solely rely on sales numbers. Instead, factors such as media presence and perceived credibility play significant roles in determining which books make the cut. Competing in categories populated by high-selling books like celebrity cookbooks adds an additional challenge. Consequently, simply achieving a high number of sales does not guarantee a spot on such prestigious lists, highlighting the multifaceted nature of book marketing.
