For the first day 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 2006. While these pages received the most visitors during 2006, keep in mind that measuring "page hits" 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. And some of the pages most visited are for books not yet published. So, slice and dice these standings however you like, but here are the most visited pages at Stone & Stone for the year 2006.
