The Wall Street Journal's Weekend Journal will add sales from online book sellers Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com to the more than 2500 book stores contributing sales data to its weekly bestselling books list beginning tomorrow.

Joanne Lipman, editor of Weekend Journal, the personal business section of the Journal which appears as the fourth section of the publication each Friday, said, "Adding the leading online book-sellers to our definitive best-seller list is another great way to mark a terrific first year for Weekend Journal. Like all of Weekend Journal, our best-seller list keeps our readers ahead on matters that go well beyond their work lives."
