I'm looking for a website that lists the latest ranking of books
according to Amazon's sales rank.

I know that Amazon includes its sales rank in the info it returns when
one searches for a title, but I don't know of any way of finding, say,
those titles that are currently at the top of Amazon's rankings.

The longer the list the better.  I.e. a list of the top 1000 titles is
better than a list of the top 5.

Dear Gerbil,

I can provide you with a link to the list of the top 100 books by
Amazon sales rank updated hourly.

Would this be of your interest?

Thanks,
Bobbie7

That sounds pretty good, but I'd like to hold out for something
better, if it exists.  If by Sunday 2004.03.28 noon PST no one has
produced a longer list, I'll accept yours. (Even a list of, say, the
top 500 or the top 1000 updated daily instead of hourly would be
preferable to me.  Otherwise, the top hundred one would be
acceptable.)

Thanks,

Hi gerbil,
I found a list of the Top 150 BestSelling Books Updated Weekly.

However, the Information is compiled from Several Booksellers instead
of just Amazon.

Is this kind of List acceptable as an answer?

Thanks.

Hi gerbil,

At Barnes & Noble, you can "See the Top 10 Bestsellers in Over 300
Categories" - that would be more than 3000 books.
