The Book Sense Category Bestseller List: Crafts
Printer-friendly versionBased on the last eight weeks of sales from over 350 independent bookstores across America.
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 latest of many subject category lists to run in BTW each week. These 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 participate in this major Book Sense initiative.
