It’s Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly review of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Seller List. According to the list, we’ve got two new books at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week.“Dead or Alive” by Tom Clancy and Grant Blackwood replaced “Port Mortuary” by Patricia Cornwell as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-seller list.
“Inside of a Dog” by Alexandra Horwitz replaced “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson as the top book on the trade paperbacks best-seller list.
“Decision Points” by George W. Bush retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-seller list, and “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown kept the No. 1 spot on the mass market paperback best-seller list.
There are two books on this week’s hardcover fiction bestseller list that weren’t on that list last week. Those books (and their positions on this week’s list) include “Dead or Alive” by Tom Clancy and Grant Blackwood (1) and “Freedom: A Novel” by Jonathan Franzen (7).
