NY Times bestseller list

[wideawake]

Harry Potter is #1 on the Children's Books NYT Bestseller List.

The NYT created this new category specifically to stop Harry Potter from continually dominating the Fiction List.

As far as Treason is concerned - I don't know.

Remember how "Profiles in Courage" became an instant bestseller when JFK's old man Joe personally bought 50,000 copies! And this book was ghost written to boot.

Here is why: Treason was released only last week. It takes approximately two weeks after the release date before sales are reflected on the NYT Bestseller list.

As for Harry Potter, in the beginning it was ranked on the Fiction bestseller list. Because of its popularity, and jealousy from other publishing companies (citing the series as children's books), they were re-classified as children's books and placed on said lists, which are updated at a frequency other than weekly.

There is always a delay of about two weeks to get on the list from when a book goes on sale. I don't know if they fudge that or there is some formula as to when a book first gets on. It will be there next week, or there will be a helluva stink!

If you go to the small print for this list you will see that this covers the period ending June 21. I don't think either Treason or Harry Potter had really been released at that point. NYT list is always a couple weeks behind. From the small print:

Rankings reflect sales, for the week ending June 21, at almost 4,000 bookstores plus wholesalers serving 50,000 other retailers (gift shops, department stores, newsstands, supermarkets), statistically weighted to represent all such outlets nationwide. An asterisk (*) indicates that a book's sales are barely distinguishable from those of the book above. A dagger (+) indicates that some bookstores report receiving bulk orders.

The Times uses information gathered by its best-seller referent, Jayson Blair. He miraculously obtains the information without ever leaving the comfort of his Brooklyn apartment.

The New York Times best seller list is never current with today's sales. As you can also see they "fine tune" the list to skew it to their viewpoint. Eliminating "Harry Potter" is just one of their "cute" moves. Amazon.com does the same thing. Take note of Hillary's book, now teamed with "Harry Potter" as a bargain baiter. What in God's name does Hillary's book have in common with Harry Potter. The answer is nothing! However, Amazon.com is stuck with thousands of Hillary books that are not moving and they look to unload them with the more popular Harry Potter. It has a two fold purpose: one to sell the Hillary Clinton Amazon.com books that Amazon.com bought and must now get rid of, and, two, to say how well Hillary's book is doing so Amazon.com can continue to be politically correct with the Hillary worshippers. But fear not, the NYT's will have to acknowledge Ann Coulter's book over the next few weeks and the Amazon.com scheme will not work, in the same fashion that tying Hillary's book to Sid Blumenthal's book, which is now in "never/never" land did not work. To insure that Ann Coulter wipes out Hillary, the same way she destroyed that retard, Sid Blumenthal, please go out an get Ann's book and urge all your family, friends and associates to do the same. Just remember, it must have killed the NYT's to list Michael Savage's "The Savage Nation" on the NYT's best seller list! Get Ann Coulter's book today!
