According to editor of the NYT Book Review Pamela Paul, the change in format is intended to boost discoverability of titles. Before the shift, debut authors had a difficult time breaking into the bestseller lists.
Paul hopes that the new lists will help draw potential readers to new books. ‘I think in this new reconfiguration, you’ll see a lot more newly published hardcover fiction…Just like book reviews, the bestseller lists are another place for discovery. It will be useful for readers, too.’ (Publishers Weekly)
