The Book Sense Category Bestseller List: Business

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

Based on the last four weeks of sales from over 300 independent bookstores across America.

Next week: Poetry

Thanks to all the stores that report, the new expanded electronic reporting options, and the software our team here has built to sort and slice a ton of data according to BISAC categories, this is the second of many subject category lists to run in BTW each week. (Cookbooks ran last week.)

These category bestseller lists are intended as inventory checking tools for booksellers, alerts to publishers as to what’s selling, and lists that the media can run.

Attention Media: Please contact Kristen Gilligan at [email protected] for reprint guidelines for your newspaper or magazine.

Thank you to all who participated in this major new Book Sense initiative.
