2024 Bestsellers

Your BMC Bookshop generally sells one or two copies each of many books rather than many copies of a few books. A “bestseller” here may mean only a dozen copies, often tied to an author event on campus.  But this year, Michelle Francl’s Steeped: The Chemistry of Tea was an international sensation, and sales were far, far ahead of anything we’ve ever seen in a single year.  Also notable is the continuing interest in Marc Schulz’s The Good Life, which makes our bestseller list for a second year.

Here are our top sellers for 2024 (through the end of November).  Click on each title for more info and to order copies:
