I completely get that struggle. Comp titles are hard! Have you tried using the &quot;Customers who bought this (famous) book also bought . . .&quot; feature? It can help introduce you to books you might not have heard of. Also Goodreads lists can be helpful. If you absolutely have to use a bestseller, I&#039;d provide a bit of an explanation to go along with it, to show that you&#039;ve done your research and also to show the ways in which your piece and the bestseller are both similar and different. I know it&#039;s a challenge, but I hope this helps a little!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the great advice! Finding the comps is the most difficult for me--especially when I&#039;m writing in a niche (non-fiction) where I&#039;m pretty sure (I&#039;ve looked and looked) there isn&#039;t much out there and the only two close comps were bestsellers :/.  How do I NOT look arrogant?]]></description>
