## What is The Best Seller List?

The Best Seller List provides a fast and easy way to learn what books are on any of The New York Times best seller lists.

Each individual list displays every book on that list with its current ranking, movement indicator, title, author and publisher, cover art and a buy button. You can also tap the book icon to add or remove a book from your reading list.

Individual books on a list have detail pages which can show any available book reviews as well as buying options from Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble,Books-A-Million, and Bookshop. Detail pages display the books ISBN13 numbers.  Books can also be added to or removed from your Reading List from detail pages.
