Literary Hub publishes the latest Independent Press Top 40 Bestsellers lists for both fiction and nonfiction. The rankings are based on sales reports from “hundreds of independent bookstores” across the United States, with data provided by the American Booksellers Association. The lists cover independent publishers and reflect the combined performance of titles during the relevant reporting period. In the fiction installment, the publication notes that the list is compiled, designed, and distributed by the Independent Publishers Caucus, and it identifies “The Calamity” as the current number one title. In the nonfiction installment, the same methodology and publishing credits apply, and the publication identifies “The Book” as the current number one title. Both articles frame the Top 40 as a snapshot of what readers are buying from independent bookstores, using the same source for sales data and the same organizing bodies for compilation and distribution. The full Top 40 entries are included in each post, alongside the leading titles highlighted at the top of each category.
