  • Bestseller Lists and Product Variety
    Bestseller Lists and Product Variety Alan T. Sorensen∗ July 2006 Abstract This paper uses detailed weekly data on sales of hardcover fiction books to evaluate the impact of the New York Times bestseller list on sales and product variety. In order to circum- vent the obvious problem of simultaneity of sales and bestseller status, the analysis exploits time lags and accidental omissions in the construction of the list. The empirical results indi- cate that appearing on the list leads to a modest increase in sales for the average book, and that the effect is more dramatic for bestsellers by debut authors. The paper discusses how the additional concentration of demand on top-selling books could lead to a reduction in the privately optimal number of books to publish. However, the data suggest the opposite is true: the market expansion effect of bestseller lists appears to dominate any business stealing from non-bestselling titles. ∗Stanford University and NBER; [email protected]. I am thankful to the Hoover Institution, where much of this research was conducted, and to Nielsen BookScan for providing the book sales data. The research has benefitted from helpful conversations with Jim King, Phillip Leslie, and Joel Sobel, among many others. Scott Rasmussen provided excellent research assistance. Any errors are mine. 1 1 Introduction The perceived importance of bestseller lists is a salient feature of multimedia industries. Weekly sales rankings for books of various genres are published in at least 40 different newspapers across the U.S., and “making the list” seems to be a benchmark of success for authors.

  • Publishing with APA Books & the Division 16 Book Series
    Publishing With APA Books & The Division 16 Book Series APA Books publishes original authored and edited volumes that advance and support the science and practice of psychology and related fields. For a volume to be considered by APA Books, typically at least one of the volume's editors or authors should be a doctoral-level psychologist. Coauthors and coeditors may, of course, be from related scientific, practitioner, and other fields. Authors and editors proposing books to our press typically have published at least a few journal articles or book chapters on the proposed volume's topic. It is important to note that although our authors and editors are psychologists, our audience is typically much broader. For example, our practitioner books are marketed to such mental health professionals as social workers, licensed counselors, psychiatrists and other physicians, nurses, family and couples therapists, addictions counselors, etc. Our research volumes are often marketed to social scientists in related fields such as sociology, criminology, and anthropology. Many of our applied volumes appeal to teachers, attorneys, public policy makers, and others who have reason to seek and use what psychology has to offer. CONSIDERING A BOOK PROPOSAL FOR THE D16 BOOK SERIES To be considered for the D16 Book Series, it is best to contact Michelle M. Perfect (VP- Publications and Communications) at [email protected] to discuss your ideas and the process for submitting a proposal. She will work closely with a representative from APA Press regarding interest in the topic and directions for the book prospectus. She is also willing to review drafts of the proposal prior to submission.

  • Monthly Highlights from TBBC
    Monthly Highlights from TBBC January 2021 TALKING BOOK & BRAILLE CENTER A MESSAGE FROM THE NEW JERSEY STATE LIBRARIAN This will be my last newsletter message. I will be retiring on January 31st. Jennifer Nelson has been named as the next State Librarian. I have been reflecting on the past eight years. While I believe that the State Library has made many advances across the state, none has been as positive and fulfilling as the services to you, our TBBC patrons. You can go to public libraries in almost every county for help to download books and magazines. TBBC can now send multiple books on a single cartridge and TBBC is now piloting a Braille device that fits into the palm of your hand. Such advances are truly remarkable and will get better. So as I leave a job I love, I love that you can now get “any book, any time.” Take care and be safe. Thank you, Mary Mary L. Chute New Jersey State Librarian NEW JERSEY STATE LIBRARIAN – JENNIFER NELSON Thomas Edison State University (TESU) announced that Jennifer R. Nelson has been chosen to serve as the new State Librarian for the New Jersey State Library (NJSL), an affiliate of TESU. TESU President, Dr. Merodie A. Hancock, said “Jen has built a reputation as an active state and national leader in digital inclusion, equity and diversity programming, and technology and data innovation.” Jennifer Nelson currently serves as the director of Minnesota State Library Services, a division that administers Minnesota’s state and federal programs for libraries and the Minnesota Braille and Talking Book Library.
