Amazon.com's Top 100 Book List Has Returned To Reality

Posted at 7:26AM Wednesday 10 Mar 2010

Amazon.com's Top 100 Book List has returned to reality—Kathryn Sockett's novel The Help was back on top; the Wolverine Ominbus was gone—after a data snafu offered hundreds of graphic novel titles at eye-popping discounts. First reported over the past weekend at Rich Johnston's comics news blog Bleeding Cool, the computer glitch led to thousands and perhaps tens of thousands of orders of mispriced titles as fans flocked to Amazon.com to buy in bulk. It is unclear how many of these items were ordered or whether Amazon will honor them.

Calls and messages to Amazon for comment on the pricing gaffe have not been returned.
