The thing that jumps out at you about PW's 2006 paperback bestsellers is how much they have been helped by the media, especially television. Love it or loathe it, the mainstream media—or MSM, as the bloggers call it—plays an essential part in America life, and in what Americans read.
For example, there's Rachael Ray, who within a few short years has gone from one-of-many TV chefs du jour to sure-fire bestselling author—all because of her extensive exposure on television. In addition to her long-running cooking shows on the Food Network, Ray now has her own talk show, co-produced by media queen Oprah. The Oprah touch this year helped others as well—her personal trainer Bob Greene (The Best Life Diet Daily Journal) and her "Debt Diet" expert Jean Chatzky (Pay It Down!). Each sold into the low six figures in '06. On the more serious side, Elie Wiesel's Night, an Oprah pick last year, sold over a million copies.
Having a movie in the theaters might be the only thing to equal the Oprah effect. Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, already a runaway bestseller, was shot into the stratosphere by the Tom Hanks picture, recording sales of 7,500,000 copies in Anchor's combined trade and mass market sales. Two films on Truman Capote, Infamousand Capote, helped propel one of Vintage's solid backlist titles, In Cold Blood, to 605,000 copies in sales. Former veep Al Gore sold over half-a-million copies of An Inconvenient Truth, based on his Oscar-winning documentary.
As for sudoku, let's not let rumors of its death go unchallenged. PW counted a whopping 28 sudoku titles, all in trade paperback, among its 2006 bestsellers, led by Wiley's Sudoku for Dummies by Andrew Heron and Edmund James, which sold 750,000 copies. In all, combined sudoku sales fell just short of the six million mark. Sodoku books are not exactly reading as we know it, but the numbers tell their own story.
Inspirational titles also made a major impact on the paperback bestsellers of 2006. Led by such houses as HarperSF (Cameras in Narnia by Ian Brodie), Revell/Baker (90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper), Frontline/Strang (Jerusalem Countdown by John Hagee) and Thomas Nelson (Blue Like Jazz by Don Miller), they accounted for over nine million in sales.
Listed on the following pages are trade paperbacks and mass market titles published in 2005 and 2006; the rankings are based only on 2006 sales. To qualify, trade paperbacks had to have sold more than 100,000 copies in 2006; for mass markets, sales of more than 500,000 were required. A single asterisk (*) indicates the book was published in 2005; a double asterisk (**) means the book was published earlier but either remained or reappeared on PW's bestseller charts in 2006. These reappearances are most often movie tie-ins. A pound symbol (#) indicates that the shipped-and-billed figure was rounded down to the nearest 5,000 to indicate the books' sales relationship to other titles. The actual figures were given to PW in confidence for use only in placing titles on these lists.
