This is the best car in the garage We use articles like the and a before nouns, like car The word "best" is an adjective, and adjectives do not take articles by themselves Because the noun car is modified by the superlative adjective best, and because this makes the noun car definite in this context, we use the It is best not to do something
word choice - his best-seller book or his best-selling book . . . @J R If something is a New York Times Best Seller, the whole five word string is the adjective in use to modify book, although why book is specified is beyond me; perhaps to distinguish it from a "best seller" audio If a book appears on a "Best Seller List*, I guess the generic "best seller book" is okay, but I don't like it much

grammar - Is the clause I ever have in the sentence the best gift I . . . Firstly, note that the best gift [that] I [have] ever have isn't a "sentence" - it's a "noun phrase" (within which the "head noun" is gift) Also note that it's perfect okay to include or omit either both the "relativiser" that and the "auxiliary verb" have , and this has no effect on the meaning (it's entirely a stylistic choice)
