John Jackson Miller at Comichron reports on some apparent upcoming changes to the New York Times's bestseller list, including the deletion of the graphic novel bestsellers. He continues:

Following an early report, I communicated with a contact who receives an advance copy [of the list] who noted there are further changes, including the elimination of the mass-market paperback charts and the merger of the e-book-only list with the fiction list. Other categories are reduced in size; the adult trade fiction list goes from 15 entries to 10, while the highest-profile list, the hardcovers, is cut from 20 entries to 15.
