New York Times Bestseller

A New York Times Bestseller is a book that ranks highly on the publication's influential list of popular books, typically compiled based on sales data from various retailers over a specific period. Achieving this status indicates strong commercial success and widespread popularity. The list covers multiple categories such as fiction, non-fiction, and children’s books, and is respected in the publishing industry as a mark of recognition, often boosting a book’s visibility and sales further. However, the exact methodology behind the rankings can vary, and being a bestseller does not necessarily reflect critical acclaim or literary quality.
