Bestseller List

While trolling are the Internet today while waiting for the Borders video  to load (I’m starting to wonder if we broke Border’s bandwith) I noticed something interesting on the New York Times Bestseller List,

1. New Moon is still at number one with 50 weeks total on the list. This means (for those of you keeping count) it has never left the bestseller list since it debuted almost a year ago.
2. The paperback version of Twilight is enjoying its 49th week on the list. It has been on the list since it debuted in paperback form.
3. And now, for the first time in almost two years, the hardcover version of Twilight is back on the list just under New Moon in the number 4 position.

If you go to Amazon.com (Borders.com is one of their partners) you can see the Eclipse based on pre-orders is their 7th bestselling book period…not on a children’s listing, overall.  It is ahead of the current Oprah book pick, and the new James Paterson novel. Unsurprisingly, the only children’s book outselling Eclipse is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; however, Eclipse is outselling every other Harry Potter book except for the full book gift set.

I know most of us are also Harry Potter fans, but let’s launch Eclipse to catch Harry. If we can do that it will really be something.  Just as a reminder,  the Changing Hands bookstore will be happy to ship you autographed copies of Eclipse in case Stephenie is not doing a signing in your area.  They ship anywhere in the world. So if you are overseas and want a to be assured of a legit autographed copy, they are a great source. Changing Hands got a lot of media attention for their Harry Potter release, wouldn’t it be cool if they could report that Eclipse was outselling Harry? That would be a story.

So get out there and preorder those books, or make plans to get one from your local bookseller the week of August 7th!
