Best Seller !!!!!

A book is a best seller only when the one who bought it feels it's the best purchase. Number of copies sold alone cannot make the book a best seller, in which case a pocket dictionary or a pocket calender could have been the best selling ones too! 

Of the million books, half of them will have ' best seller' written at the back of the book cover assuming that alone will make it a big success. Example, what's the use of a best selling cookbook? I would say,same as the one selling least ! If I want to be a good cook, I will follow my mum (or dad,whoever is good at cooking) and ask her for the tips. I don't need a cook book. Even if people bought one enthusiastically,they end up stalking it on the top of the shelf leaving it there for years as a food for termites thus serving it purpose as a cook book,there you go !

What's the use of a best selling 'weight loss' book? 90% of the people lose nothing except for the money spent on the book. It's as good as becoming a member at a local gym and not turning up until validity expires ! And what happens to the book? Well, it loses it's face value ! Likewise M&B, TDH etc become best sellers for unknown reasons.


All in all, a publicity gimmick like 'best seller' leads to the malnutrition of mind and soul resulting in intellectually challenged people. My favorite best selling book is my husband's cheque book. But only concern is, this book contains leaves instead of pages and I get extremely worried when it's autumn !!!!!!
