Quote:
A note on the data and methodology: These are the 16 largest metro areas in the U.S. and contain roughly one-third of the U.S. population (100 million people). All of the sales rankings for adult fiction and nonfiction were provided by Nielsen BookScan, which gathers point-of-sale book data from more than 13,000 locations across the U.S. Their data provider list includes all major booksellers, Internet retailers, and food and other non-traditional bookselling stores.
