Handbook for Mortals is a 2017 young adult fantasy romance novel by Lani Sarem, first published by Geeknation Press in 2017 and subsequently mass-printed as a hardcover book.[1]
The title received media attention for its placement on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2017, as the book was not well-known, it was not readily available in brick-and-mortar stores, and the author had never published before. An investigation into the novel by author Phil Stamper showed evidence that the book's placement was achieved through manipulation, such as unusual bulk ordering sales.[2][3][4]The New York Times subsequently removed the book from its rankings.
