That’s how a ton of politicians “NYT best sellers” books are done. They’ll use campaign funds to buy up a ton of books and then give them out for free at rallies and shit.
They only started doing that within the last 5-10 years iirc though
And the list isn’t purely sales numbers anyway as they admitted in the 80s in a legal case. It isn’t mathematically objective but rather done on a subjective editorial scale. They choose which books to have on a subjective scale that doesn’t even have to take sales into account.

But they also put a dagger next to it to denote a bulk sale.
