I am interested in this process as well. I would ask another question. If a title hits the New York Times best seller list but the publisher is not a partner, does the book still make the collection?
What are the chances for those titles that are on the list, but say #12?
How are publishing partners approached? For example I love Wayne Dyer, but none of his books with Hay House Publishing are here, because hay House is not a partner. I find this is true, even if in the Oprah book club.
Enlighten us all the way around can you?

Hi Miriam,

I am similarly interested in an explanation of how it is some books
from publishing partners make it and others don't. Like you, I['m
interested in the 51-days war. I'm also interested in Harvey Cox'
latest as well as a recent release by John Dominic Crossin called How
to Read the Bible and Still be a Christian, or something quite close to
that. BookShare has a bunch of Crossin's earlier work as well as
earlier work from Cox that is PQ. So yes. How are books chosen? Do
publishers only offer certain titles? Or does somebody or somebodies on
the receiving end pick which items they think will be most in demand?
