Interesting if true

Can you guess how many of last year’s bestselling SF titles were published last year?

One.

Actually, that’s not fair. I’m not counting the media tie-ins, of which there are four, three of which were published last year and made the list.

I believe he means "were first published last year".

I wish there were some way to get good numbers on book sales in general since it would be interesting to know. But if, if, what he says is true about SF I feel good about moving the local club in a SF = Speculative Fiction direction in order to make it clear that I and other members of the club are primarily Fantasy readers.
