The Book Sense Category Bestseller List: Christianity
Based on the last four 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. (Past Category Bestseller lists are available at http://www.bookweb.org/read/5677.)
Attention Media: Please contact Kristen Gilligan at kristen@bookweb.org for reprint guidelines for your newspaper or magazine.
