Bestsellers


The top 25 best-selling O'Reilly books for this week based on Bookscan. Neilsen Bookscan aggregates point-of-sale data from about 70% of US bookstores, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, and many smaller chains and leading independent bookstores. Each week they supply us a list of the top 10,000 computer books, which we load into a MySQL-based data mart, categorize, and use to drive our bestseller rankings. You can read more about Bookscan in Tim's blog Book Sales as a Technology Trend Indicator.
