May 3, 2008Interesting observation reported on Galleycat -- tipsters say that the top 50 young adult science fiction/fantasy bestsellers recently outsold the top 100 adult sci-fi/fantasty bestsellers by two to one. Blogger/author John Scalzi argues: "That serious adult science fiction/fantasy readers don't seem to know any of this is a) a feature of the opaque nature of book sales, in which no one publicly talks about actual units sold and b) a feature of the apparent short-sightedness of adult sf/f readers, who are missing a genuine literary revolution in their genre because the YA section is a blank spot on the map to them, if not to everyone else."
