Amazon changes what's on each ranking from time to time. I would look more at absolute rankings based on a combination of daily sales and monthly sales, according to one site that translates ranks into book sales.It's not the first time. It's been there before, but I think it's been riding high after the last holiday weekend bump. I think what we're seeing with this and P2 products is a new release doing really well around the time of its lauch and pushing down basic book sales. Back in the day, new books always had very strong sales the first week and month and then declined. Wildemount and Gamemastery guide both surpased thier core books this month. The PHB has gained back some ground but will likely still fluctuate a bit and with Wildemount release, I think it will be at the top for at least a few weeks longer. The 5th ed books overall for the last week have pretty much held steady.What has really surprised me is what's happening with the Paizo books. That's where coronavirus may have hit hardest (of the two brands). The core book is down in the 8000s and reached a new low in the 9000s. The Gamemastery Guide is also down in that 8000 range, too. That's a pretty big drop in a week. Maybe this is where shipping difficulties are hurting sales, or possibly people who are self isolating are mostly buying 5th ed because it's easier to find online games. I don't know if any stores buy stock on Amazon. Whether or not, Paizo Amazon sales, according to one calculator I use, are at the level where a few less purchases each day or month will push the ranking down.</blockquote>
