How this list is organized: 7 sales a day is around a 20,000 to 26,000 sales rank.
For each line, I’ve listed the subcategory on the left, then the rank of the #100 book in that subcategory on the right.
Note: Most of these categories can only be accessed through the use of keywords. But I’ve been able to get as many as 8 total categories on a single book before, so there’s a lot of room to maneuver here.
