How to Choose Bestselling Books — Complete Buying Guide

Quick Buying Guide — Bestselling Books

• Format: Hardcovers are durable and make great gifts. Paperbacks are lighter and cheaper. Box sets offer great value for series.
• Check the edition: Make sure you are buying the latest edition, especially for non-fiction titles that get updated regularly.
• Series order: If buying a series, check the reading order before purchasing — not all series are numbered clearly.
• Reviews: Amazon reviews are particularly useful for books — look for verified purchase reviews and check for translation quality on foreign titles.
• Gift wrapping: Many books on Amazon can be gift wrapped at checkout — useful for presents.
