Does it look like a weird list? We think so, too. A list that reflects the diverse and eclectic tastes of the January Magazine readership.

After our first full year of actually offering our readership the chance to buy the books they read about on January, we thought it would be fun to look over the stats to see what you bought.

Unlike the lists we present throughout the year that indicate what everyone else is selling, this one reflects the top sellers on January Magazine throughout 2002. Notice, please, that very few of these books showed up on any of the top selling lists throughout 2002. In fact, many of these books were published -- and reviewed -- prior to last year. It's a gorgeous collection, though. Indicating what we've always known: January's readers don't follow the pack. They lead it. Next question: where will they lead it in 2003?
