From the NY Times online Bestseller List:
" Rankings reflect sales, for the week ending June 7..."
So her book would not be listed there yet.
You are correct.From the NY Times online Bestseller List:
"Rankings reflect sales, for the week ending June 7..."
So her book would not be listed there yet.
From http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/22/books/bestseller/0622besthardnonfiction.html (no-charge registration required):
Rankings reflect sales, for the week ending June 7, 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.But, if it takes the Old Gray Lady a WEEK to update THEIR list, how could S&S get virtually INSTANTANEOUS results?
