Book statistics for 2011
For the beginning of the new year we present a compilation of statistics from our website showing the most popular pages for books,
authors, publishers, and subjects for 2011. While these pages received the most visitors during 2011, keep in mind that measuring "pages served" is not the
same thing as determining the "best" of the year. Visitors might have reached these pages for any of a variety of reasons, including sheer accident.
Likewise, books which were in the database and accessible all year long could have a amassed a greater number of visitors than equally popular books
that didn't show up until late in the year. So, slice and dice these standings
however you like, but here are the most visited pages at Stone & Stone for the year 2011.
