New York Times Reinstates Graphic Books Bestseller List
After removing the bestseller list for graphic books in 2017, the New York Times has announced its returns.
The “Best Sellers team” will begin track Graphic Books, which includes fiction, nonfiction, children’s, adults, and manga, as well as Market Paperbacks. There will also be two new monthly children’s lists, Middle Grade Paperback, and Young Adult Paperback. The monthly Science and Sports are being retired as the lists are represented elsewhere.
The addition of those lists is due to “reader interest and market strength,” showing even without the New York Times bestseller list for two years the impact on graphic book sales has likely been negligible.
The monthly lists will begin to be published online October 2 and October 20 in print.
