Quote

A best-seller was a book which somehow sold well because it was selling well.

We partner with movies that stand for more than the latest bestseller.

Next, in importance to books are their titles.

I want to write a best-selling book.

Bookstore operators tell us that the books which head the bestseller list are books on peace and happiness.

The big bestsellers aren't being created by Barnes & Noble.

I'm always astonished when I go into Barnes & Noble at the number of people buying books, of course, but also at the variety of books they do buy and the extent to which they are not the big bestsellers.

To make a bestseller, there are more customers than just your customers: Selling to the end-user is just one piece of the puzzle. In my case, I needed to first sell myself to the publisher to get marketing support and national retail distribution.

Negative books can be bestsellers, but seldom classics.

I think there's a difference between having a bestselling book - meaning through marketing, PR and buying that first wave of customers - and writing a bestselling book. The second implies that the product propels itself to the best seller list.
