>go to barnles and nobles>look around>literally every book is award winninghow is this possible lol its seriously every book.
>>25093441a lot (alot) of organizations exist just to sell awards
>>25093441there's a lot of awards!
>look at the displays in a bookstore>they've specifically put books on display that have won awards!wow!
>>25093550op would be so mad if he could read
>literally every book is the #1 NYT bestseller They can't all be #1
>>25093447that's how I feel about the Mark Twain prize or even the noble prize that was awarded to the female president of Venezuela that then forfeited the prize to the US president. You can't trust shit organizations. Even non profits just hide their own ass
you now realize that less than 10% of the years published books sell more than 100 copies
>>25094017This is the answer. Barnes and Noble doesn’t stock actually obscure stuff. You need to be the top 10% of sales in the fist place.
>>25094053lollmao evenBooks by big publishers can fail to sell more than 100 even if there are 1000 copies for sale on a B&N shelf. It's not a matter of obscurity or availability, it's a matter of publishers throwing shit at the wall and hoping one of them will stick, only to repeat the process once people stop talking about it.
