  • 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.

  • 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.

Bestselling authors in Business & Money Mario Natarelli, managing partner, and Rina Plapler, partner, discussed their new book and the importance of it in today’s marketplace. John Diefenbach, Chairman, also spoke at the event, which had over 100 attendees and took place at The Redbury New York on November 14, 2017. “It was wonderful to be able to celebrate the launch of our new book with those who have been most instrumental in the process of writing it,” stated Natarelli. The book, which became a bestseller less than 24 hours after launch, focuses on the concept of Brand Intimacy, which is a new marketing paradigm that leverages and strengthens the emotional bonds between a person and a brand. Brand Intimacy provides insight and lessons for marketers, business leaders and entrepreneurs who are seeking to understand these ultimate brand relationships and the opportunities they represent. Certain brands are studied, such as Apple, Amazon and Netflix for their successes as well as United, Foursquare and Apple again for their missteps.

One minute Beth Cappadora was the happily married mother of three. The next, one of 09/1996 them, 3-year-old Ben, was missing. Was he kidnapped?

  • The Young Readers Adaptation
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DELACORTE PRESS TO PUBLISH YOUNG READERS’ ADAPTATION OF NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER THE SUM OF US BY HEATHER McGHEE New York, NY (August 25, 2021)—Delacorte Press, an imprint of Random House Children’s Books, will publish THE SUM OF US: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together (Adapted for Young Readers), a middle-grade adaptation of Heather McGhee’s adult New York Times bestseller The Sum of Us for readers ages 10 and up, it was announced today by Beverly Horowitz, Senior Vice President and Publisher of Delacorte Press. Horowitz acquired North American rights from Janine Kamouh and Dorian Karchmar at William Morris Endeavor and will edit the project. Originally published in February 2021, and hailed as “illuminating and hopeful” by the New York Times and “[a] powerhouse of a book about the deep, enduring, cross-cultural, multi-generational, and real-life cost of racist policy- making in the United States” by Elizabeth Gilbert, THE SUM OF US is an analysis of how we arrived at a divided America, sharing a way forward that is positive and hopeful. McGhee marshals economic and sociological research to paint the true legacy of racism’s costs, but at the heart of the book are the humble stories of people yearning to be part of a better America, including white supremacy’s collateral victims: white people themselves. This heartfelt message from a Black woman to a multiracial America will leave young people with a new vision for a future in which life can be more than a zero-sum game.
