Bestselling Books of 2008

The January Magazine annual bestseller list is unlike all those other lists. Only a small percentage of the books in our top ten appeared on anyone else’s bestseller list throughout the year. Some of the books -- in fact, many of them -- weren’t even published during the previous 12 months.

So what are they doing here? These are the books that actually sold the most on January throughout the year. (Hence, you know, the name: “bestseller list.”) The result? “A list that reflects the diverse and eclectic tastes of the January Magazine readership.”

It’s also a spot of interest and fun. And who can have too much of that? Look closely at this year’s list. It really reflects every aspect of reviewing we do as well as the concerns and interests of our readers during the last 12 months.
