I read plenty, often times bestsellers, that are clearly not geared towards a New York audience. I went over here http://www.thebookstandard.com/bookstandard/charts/regional_index.jsp
and found that there was no serious difference in top sellers by region. Yes which book is 1 2 or 3 re-arranges and in one or two regions the #4 book in the country floats to the top 3. But really it’s consistent between the “major markets” and fly over. And at the top of the charts is the latest Far Side calendar and James Patterson, both clearly not “educated urban dweller” material.
Face it, you’re WRONG. Across the board WRONG. Unable to provide any facts, and unwilling to man up and admit it. your original statement was crap and you’ve been on a desperate search for relevance since then. Man up, admit your mistake. I’m chilled, but pathetic people that say patently false things and then can’t admit it deserve to be constantly mocked. So until you either flee or man up I’ll continue to point out that you are WRONG.
Okay, fine. You win. Go celebrate.
(For the record, you should look at how most bestseller lists are compiled. It isn’t by net or total sales)
