In the United States, there is no regulatory body to supervise the book rankings, relying solely on the credibility and high level of appreciation of the list makers to accumulate influence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The USA Today brand is certainly loud, but many people still trust the New York Times bestseller list!

Today, the old New York Times is no longer the leader in this regard, and the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, as well as the online book retailer Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, the largest offline book retailer, all have their own rankings and loyals.

According to Nielsen Book Monitoring, which provides data for the authoritative list, the list is based on cash register records directly from more than 4,500 retail stores across the United States.

Barnes & Noble and other large retail chains determine bestseller lists based on sales in retail stores and sales sites.

It is worth mentioning that because the specific algorithm of the ranking of each list is not disclosed, and the source of the bookstore and distributor selected is also different, the results of the major best-selling lists are often very different!

Sometimes, a book that makes it to the "Top 10" list in the New York Times list doesn't necessarily make it to the USA Today or Washington Post lists.

In fact, it is difficult to have an absolutely accurate list, so what people have to do is to listen to it and participate in several different lists.

While newspapers like these typically update their bestseller lists weekly, large online book retailers like Amazon update their data in real time and give a more comprehensive annual list in the middle and end of the year.

This kind of leaderboard is more reflective of long-term trends than weekly rankings!

There are many factors that affect the popularity of a book, among which the reputation of the author and the charm of the work itself cannot be underestimated, and sometimes it can indeed maintain the popularity of a book for several years.

This is especially true in statistics that reflect long-term sales figures, such as annual lists, where books tend to be updated more frequently in short-term rankings such as monthly and weekly lists.

Lin Han found three books of his own on the sales list of "USA Today", among which the first place needless to say, "Bouquet for Algernon" actually returned to the runner-up position!

In the past week, this science fiction novel released the year before sold 680,000 copies, and if it weren't for the airborne championship of "Hyperion's Fall", it would have won the championship again after a year or two!

In other words, Lin Han's own work hinders the possibility of its return to the crown.

How can this not be regretted!

If the old book beats the new book to win the championship, the picture must be very beautiful.

The third book in the top 10 is Jurassic Park, which barely came out in ninth place.

Anyway, it was still early to board the plane, so Lin Han simply looked for the "New York Times" on the newspaper shelf, which was more authoritative.

At this glance, I realized that I seemed to have slaughtered this ranking!

In the New York Times' bestseller list, four of the top 10 virtual books in the category belong to Lin Han!

"The Fall of Hyperion" sold 1.07 million physical paper books in the list statistics here, and the second-place "Bouquet for Algernon" also increased sales.

The difference is that the "Matrix" book here is in sixth place, and "Jurassic Park" is in tenth place!

An Oscar ceremony has rejuvenated Lin Han's old books, which can be called old!

Lin Han himself can't remember clearly, this is the first time they have returned to the top of the rankings, and the sales momentum is extremely strong!

It's no wonder that the race for the Oscars is so fierce, and the announcement of the film, the release of the film, the nomination, and the award have each stimulated, especially when "A Bouquet for Algernon" swept this Oscar, it injected a dose of strength into the tired global box office.

At the same time, DVD reservations and sales have increased significantly, and the copyright fees demanded on TV and website on-demand are much higher!

The Oscar effect is so strong that it also acts on the original novel.

Many people who have seen the movie have gone to buy books after discovering that the movie is so exciting. Those who have never seen the movie, after seeing the seven awards, also want to see the true face of Lushan!

The stance of four books going into battle together broke the record held by American writers for many years, and Lin Han didn't expect this day to come so early!

He was only on some inconspicuous lists before, and the competition in this kind of super market is extremely fierce, and it is not easy to win the championship and runner-up, and there must be other works.

In fact, paper books have begun to grow and rebound compared to before, due to the unabated reading demand of readers and the return of some e-book readers, the total sales of paper books are now trying to regain the dominance!

Since 2011, online retail channels have surpassed physical retail, making physical retail channels lose their position as the number one channel for American consumers to buy books.

Readers not only buy physical books online, but also buy and download e-books online, with about a quarter of Americans saying they read e-books!

Even Barnes & Noble, the largest offline retail bookstore in the United States, has moved into e-book sales, becoming the second-largest online book retailer after Amazon last year.

Compared with the suppression of the physical book field, "Bouquet for Algernon" has shown unparalleled combat effectiveness on Amazon, surpassing "Hyperion's Fall" on the real-time list!

It is estimated that it is the difference in the readership, and the number of readers who buy e-books online is very large and choose the original film starring Leonardo.

In order to match the promotion of the novel, Amazon officially changed the cover of "Bouquet for Algernon" to the poster of the movie, so that the connection is closer!

The Penguin Publishing Group also saw the connection and operability, and they quickly contacted the copyright of the poster, and then asked the artist to recreate the cover and illustrations.

In the reprinted books, there is a gap between the appearance of the first edition and the later edition, which will also make many readers with a collecting habit can't help but pay more!

What if you buy it once, it's a big deal to buy a different cover, rich is capricious!

Lin Han's old books are not only encircled and suppressed in the United States market, but also in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the United Kingdom, France and other places, striving to burn the last drop of energy.

The book sales list around the world has ushered in a long-lost grand occasion, and the king is the king after all!

Even if people go to make movies, they can still dominate the list when they come back to their senses occasionally!

The lion is only sleeping, and the sleeping dragon will eventually wake up!
