According to the list, we’ve got no new books at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week."The Sixth Man" by David Baldacci remained the top book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list, and "Bossypants" by Tina Fey retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.
