More From the Bestseller Data -- If You Can Use It
Actually, there weren't a lot of surprises. These are probably all books you're aware of. I was looking for some backlist and any especially well-priced gifty books in the top 50 of our data.
A new kid's book doing well:
- #24 Christmas Day in the Morning, by Pearl S. Buck; illus. by Mark Buehner (HarperCollins, $16.99, 0688162673) -- originally published in 1955, now reissued as an illustrated book
In trade paper:
- #49 Dare to Repair, by Julie Sussman (HarperResource, $14.95, 0060959843)
- #52 Handbags: The Power of the Purse, by Anna Johnson (Workman, $13.95, 0761123776)
- #53 Sibley's Birding Basics, by David Sibley (Knopf, $15.95, 0375709665)
Hardcover nonfiction:
- #24 Earth From Above 365 Days, by Yann Arthus-Bertrand (Harry N. Abrams, $29.95, 0810914301)
- #39 Joy of Cooking (Revised), by Irma Von Starkloff Rombauer (Scribner, $35, 0684818701)
- #42 Century, by Bruce Bernard (Phaidon Press, $19.95, 0714842796)
- #48 American Studies, by Louis Menand (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $25, 0374104344)
And poetry is doing nicely, with Billy Collins strong as ever, and:
- #26 Good Poems, ed. by Garrison Keillor (Viking, $25.95, 0670031267)
Let me know if there's any book or category you'd like us to look into.
