Since May this year, readers of HT Read have been tracking the bestsellers in the Indian book market through AC Nielsen's Bookscan Top 10 list. In the period since the Nielsen Bookscan India panel set up shop (October 2010), the number of retailers from whom they cull data and sales figures have grown three-fold.
