It seems that so many books at a bookstore claims to be a New York Times Best Seller. I’m guessing there are many lists and that’s really not a ranking of how many books are actually sold. How does all of this work behind the scenes?

It is based on self reported numbers by the bookstores and wholesalers that they ask for data. It is not scientific or based on actual sales. The NYT will not say how they actually determine the best sellers and it is widely thought that they juggle the numbers as they see fit.
