does anyone plan to add other bestselling info to this list? as in, not just from the new york times, because if not, than i think it might be apt to change the title to reflect that it's new york times bestselling, which is obviously only one measurement of it. yes sortof picky, but more accurate.

For now, I think the name is fine the way it is, since the New York Times' bestseller list is the standard used most often in commercial and promotional contexts (used for the covers of "bestselling" books and in press releases). In the future, if someone adds additional data regarding bestsellers as determined by other media outlets, then we'll decide what to do about article names. What would really be helpful is if someone could find information for the bestselling novels of the year from 1999-2004. Volatile 18:35, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
