The online New York Times bestseller lists are an expanded version of those appearing in the print edition of the New York Times Book Review.
Rankings reflect sales, for any given week, at many thousands of venues where a wide range of general interest books are sold nationwide. These include hundreds of independent book retailers (statistically weighed to represent all such outlets); national, regional and local chains; online and multimedia entertainment retailers; university, gift, supermarket, discount department stores and newsstands.
