Amazon's Best Books of the Year

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Amazon.com Best Books)

Amazon's Best Books of the Year is a list of best books created yearly by Amazon.com. It is a list of best books picked by Amazon editors and customers. It began in 2000. Customer favorites are ranked according to the number of sales made through October, for books published in that calendar year. The lists are usually announced in early November. The list has garnered attention from media such as The Guardian,[1][2] CBS News[3] and others.[4][5][6][7][8]

According to Sarah Gelman, Editorial Director, Amazon Books, "The Books Editorial team reads thousands of new releases every year", with the intention of making recommendations.[9] There are monthly lists, and from those a year-end list is created.[10] According to an Amazon Books spokesperson, "Many of the editorial picks for the best books are also customer favorites and bestsellers, but they strive to spotlight the best books readers might not otherwise hear about, too."[11]
