Books flying off
Bestsellers are books or other products that sell in very large numbers.
The term typically refers to books appearing on ranked lists compiled by newspapers and trade publications: Three of her novels became bestsellers.
A bestseller may indicate commercial success without implying literary quality.
The singular bestseller can also describe an author: She's a bestselling novelist.
