"Wanna make some easy money? Tell your friends you don't think Harry Potter and
the Deathly Hallows will debut at #1 on The New York Times Bestseller List.
Heck, you don't think it will even make the Top Ten! Then give them ten to one
odds.
Huh? The book that will probably set a single day and one week
sales record, the book hundreds of thousands will line up for at midnight won't
be the Number One book on The New York Times Bestseller list? That's right
because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a children's book and those
books don't count."
While I can understand that you would want a separate list for children's books and adult books (not that kind of adult book), Harry Potter really is more than a children's book. The real problem seems to be that three book in the series has camped out on the list. A better idea might be to limit only one book in a series on the list at any time. Leave the highest selling book on the list and take the others off the list.
