Amazon.ca/Books in Canada Bestsellers

:: Posted by Bryan @ 4/03/2007 12:04:00 AM
This week's Books in Canada lists Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's 300 as number 5 on its weekly Amazon.ca/Books in Canada Fiction Bestsellers List. This info is in the print edition; the website's list hasn't been updated since November. Caution: these lists have dubious value.

Other comics related books include Dr. Seuss (#40) and Maurice Sendak (#49).

Amazon's current list (updated hourly) has 300 at #9 of all books.

Amazon.ca's bestselling graphic novels list makes for interesting reading. As you can see, with the exception of a manga about Avril Lavigne, very little Can-con:

1.300
2.Batman:Hush
3.Deathnote, vol 10
4.Batman:Hush (hardcover?)
5.Justice (Alex Ross)
6.300:Art of the Film
7.The Walking Dead Volume 6: This Sorrowful Life
8.Y The Last Man: Motherland
9.Transmetropolitan Back on the Street
10.Avril Lavigne's Make 5 Wishes
11.Avril Lavigne's Make 5 Wishes (2 different editions)
12.Serenity: Those Left Behind
13.Superman Batman Supergirl
14.Your Honest Deceit Vol 1: Yaoi
15.Fruits Basket: Volume 7
16.Fruits Basket: Volume 9
17.V For Vendetta
18.Watchmen
19.Transmetropolitan: The New Scum
20.Piled Higher and Deeper: A Graduate Student Comic Strip Collection

By contrast, Chapters/Indigo ranks 300 as #47 overall. Chapters has a top 50 list of online bestsellers but does not rank graphic novels separately.
