Black Christian News/BCBC National Bestsellers List
www.BlackCBC.com
The Top 50 Black Christian Bestsellers List (Non-fiction)
(Based upon Amazon.com rankings, BarnesandNoble.com rankings, and BlackCBC.com rankings.)
For the Week of December 14, 2008 through December 20, 2008.
How we calculate the Black Christian News/BCBC Bestsellers List: Very simply, we combine the rankings of Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and BlackCBC.com for each book. Once we get the combined number, we rank the books according to the lowest number.  We have found, down through the years, if a book is truly a bestselling book, it will be a bestselling book across the board, via online stores and in brick-and-mortar stores. 

As you know, making a major bestsellers list actually increases book sales. So, Congratulations!

SPECIAL NOTE: All of the books that we rank, which is a list of over 300 Christian books written by African-Americans, with the exception of one, are on Amazon.com. About 30 of the Christian books written by  African-Americans are not on, or are not ranked on BarnesandNoble.com, indicating that it is not selling through BarnesandNoble.com. In order to have a fair bestsellers list, we want to encourage all authors and publishers to make sure their books are sold through BarnesandNoble.com, as well as Amazon.com and BlackCBC.com.
 
If you feel that your book is not being ranked with the over 300 books that are ranked each week, please e-mail the title of your book, the author's name, and the ISBN number to blackcbc@blackchristianbookcompany.com.

The Top 50 Black Christian Independent Publishers Bestsellers List (Non-fiction)
(Based upon Amazon.com rankings, BarnesandNoble.com rankings, and BlackCBC.com rankings.)
For the Week of December 14, 2008 through December 20, 2008.
Independent Publishers or Small Publishers are terms often used to describe publishers with annual sales below a certain level. Commonly, in the United States, this is set at $50 million, after returns and discounts. Independent publishers or Small publishers are also defined as those that publish an average of fewer than 10 titles per year, though there are a few who manage to do more.

The terms "independent publisher" or "small publisher" are often used interchangeably, with "independent press" defined as publishers that are not part of large conglomerates or multinational corporations. Defined this way, these presses make up approximately half of the market share of the book publishing industry.  Many small presses rely on specialization in genre: fiction, poetry, or limited-edition books or magazines, but there are also thousands that focus on niche non-fiction markets.
 
As you know, making a major bestsellers list actually increases book sales. So, Congratulations!
