The most important bestseller list is The New York Times Best Seller List, and they are the worst culprit at this curated elitism. And they’re picking books based on what they think are “important” books, not based on what is actually selling. No bestseller list measures the actual best selling books.Įvery single list is either measuring a limited number of sales in a few places, or far worse, it’s a curated list and a small group of people are deciding what to put on their list.
Let me repeat that, so you can grasp the gravity of what it means: Simply put: every bestseller list is a lie because no bestseller list measures the best selling books.
