(Based
upon Amazon.com rankings, BarnesandNoble.com rankings, and BlackCBC.com
rankings.)
For the Week of November 23, 2008
through November 29, 2008.
How we calculate the Black
Christian News/BCBC Bestsellers List: Very simply, we
combine the rankings of Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and
BlackCBC.com for each book. Once we get the combined number, we rank
the books according to the lowest number. We have found, down
through the years, if a book is truly a bestselling book, it will be a
bestselling book across the board, via online stores and in
brick-and-mortar stores.
As
you know, making a major bestsellers list actually increases book
sales. So, Congratulations!
SPECIAL NOTE: All
of the books that we rank, which is a list of over 300 Christian books
written by African-Americans, with the exception of one, are on
Amazon.com. About 30 of the Christian books written by African-Americans are not on, or are not ranked on
BarnesandNoble.com, indicating that it is not selling through
BarnesandNoble.com. In order to have a fair bestsellers list, we want
to encourage all authors and publishers to make sure their books are
sold through BarnesandNoble.com, as well as Amazon.com and BlackCBC.com.
If
you feel that your book is not being ranked with the over 300 books
that are ranked each week, please e-mail the title of your book, the
author's name, and the ISBN number to blackcbc@blackchristianbookcompany.com.
