This is the season
when we unveil our 10 Best Books of the year, which always
leads to questions. What do you mean by “best”? How do you pick them and
what gets left off? As we did last week with our 100 Notables, I’m offering
this special newsletter to address some of the most commonly asked
questions posed by our readers, and to offer a behind-the-scenes view of how
we put these kinds of lists together and what makes our list different from
the many other year-end lists out there.

If you’d like to
tell me about which books you’re happy made the list, which books you wish
had been on there or any other feedback about this year’s 10 Best, please
email me at books@nytimes.com.
(Yes, I personally check that inbox.) I’ll be back this Friday with the rest
of our 10 Best Books issue.

Let the cheering
(and debating) begin,
