There are seven in all:
HARDCOVER FICTION
HARDCOVER NONFICTION
HARDCOVER ADVICE

CHILDREN'S BOOKS

PAPERBACK FICTION
PAPERBACK NONFICTION
PAPERBACK ADVICE

"An Inconvenient Truth" is at #1 on the Paperback NonFiction list; Ann Coulter's latest "Godless", is at #9 on the Hardcover NonFiction list.

Aside from the obvious profit motive, any discrepancy in attention paid to one list over the other is likely a local issue.

Oh, and just for fun, this just in from Amazon.com: Rank for Coulter's book: 110; Rank for Gore's book: 30. So clearly, "An Inconvenient Truth" is selling far better than Coulter's screed.
