The top 10 neighbors for NYRB Classics are a dense mix of literary magazines, media websites, and fellow book publishers — with no single standout pulling far ahead of the rest.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.98 (London Review of Books) down to 0.96 (Alfred A. Knopf), a band of less than two percentage points across all ten neighbors. The Paris Review (0.97) and Granta (0.97) sit just behind the LRB, followed by Literary Hub (0.97) and Harper's Magazine (0.97). The cluster is dominated by magazines — six of the ten neighbors carry that subcategory — with websites and book publishers filling the remaining slots.
The cross-kind composition is the notable structural fact here. Only three of the ten neighbors are book publishers: Farrar, Straus & Giroux (0.96), Guardian Books (0.96), and Alfred A. Knopf (0.96). The majority are media channels — magazines and websites — rather than publishers. The Millions (0.96), a literary blog, and Guardian Books (0.96), a news publisher subcategory, round out the set alongside one activist, Gloria Steinem (0.96), the lone non-media, non-publisher entry in the top 10.
The overall picture is an audience shaped primarily by literary and cultural media consumption rather than by publisher identity alone.
