Thanks, Kyle!

Yeah, I too saw the Wikipedia entry, but that doesn’t seem as solid a source as AP. Unfortunately, my AP Stylebook only mentions “best seller” in the generic sense, rather than in relation to the NY Times list.

Hmmmm …

Oh, and you would write: his best-selling book; the book is a best seller.

Sayeth the AP Stylebook: best seller (n.)

Mine is the 2002 edition but I will wager the ruling remains the same. Wikipedia says the proper name is New York Times Best Seller List. Hope that helps!
