What is BookAuthority?
What is BookAuthority?
BookAuthority is the world's leading site for book recommendations, dedicated to helping readers discover the most recommended books on various subjects.
We search the internet daily for new books and recommendations, then we evaluate and categorize each book.
BookAuthority is used by millions of readers worldwide, and has been featured on CNN,
Forbes,
and Inc.
The site drives the sale of over 100,000 book copies (nearly $2M in sales) every year.
Can you review or feature my book?
BookAuthority operates through a fully automated process.
Our AI and algorithms scan the internet, analyze recommendations, and determine which books are featured.
To maintain impartiality, we have no editorial control and cannot manually add, feature, or review any books.
Therefore, we do not review books and cannot accept any book feature requests.
My book is featured
How did I make it to the list?
We scour the internet daily for books and book recommendations.
Then, we evaluate and rate the books based on data points such as expert recommendations, user reviews, reader sentiment, and popularity.
Finally, we organize the books by subject and compile useful book lists, featuring the most recommended books in any given subject.
Congratulations on making it to the list and being featured by BookAuthority!
How are the books in the list ranked and sorted?
Books that are featured on BookAuthority are ranked (#1, #2, #3) and sorted based on various, factors such as:
✔ The quality and quantity of experts recommendations of the book
✔ Book popularity and sales history
✔ Relevance to the category
What can I expect after my book has been featured?
BookAuthority drives nearly $2M in book sales every year.
Therefore, by being featured on one of our lists, you may see a significant increase in book sales.
Promoting your achievement on your site, blog, and social can help you establish your book as one of the best of its kind, and drive even more sales.
My book was removed
My book was featured on the site, but has now disappeared, why?
Being featured on BookAuthority is not permanent.
Millions of books are published yearly, and as a result, we have to revise our lists with new books and recommendations continually.
Since there's only a limited number of books we can feature, it means that books are typically featured for a few months or years, before being replaced by other books.
But worry not - just like the Oscars or the Time Magazine, if your book was featured in previous years but isn't featured anymore,
you can continue and use the BookAuthority badge you previously received to celebrate your achievement.
You get to keep your bragging rights.
Note that we will not accommodate requests to reinstate books that were previously featured.
My book information needs changing
Can I change the book info or link displayed on the site?
We pull book data directly from Amazon.
In some cases, for a particular book, the link, title, author info, image, or description may be out of date.
Unfortunately, since we have thousands of books on the website, we cannot accommodate requests to correct book or author details on the site,
as updates are done automatically over time.
