Dorian Chong asked;

"I am curious to know exactly what determines that a book like HARRY

POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE makes it to the adult NYTimes bestseller list, (as opposed to a list for children's books). Is it sheer numbers of books sold, is it an editorial decision to include a children's book on the adult bestseller list, or is it decided by some other criteria? Can anyone shed light on this?"

Great question, Dorian! Does anyone out there know the answer?
