New ESPN book tops nonfiction best-sellers list this week

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.

"Those Guys Have All the Fun" by James Andrew Miller & Tom Shales replaced "In the Garden of Beasts" by Erik Larson as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.

"Frankenstein: The Dead Town" by Dean Koontz replaced "Water for Elephants: A Novel" by Sara Gruen as the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.

"Dead Reckoning" by Charlaine Harris retained its spot as the top book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

"Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back" by Todd Burpo, Sonja Burpo, Colton Burpo and Lynn Vincent retained the No. 1 spot on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

There is only one book on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week – “Star Wars: Conviction” by Aaron Allston, which was No. 3 on this week’s list.

There are four books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "Those Guys Have All the Fun" by James Andrew Miller & Tom Shales (1), "Prescription for Excellence" by Joseph A. Michelli (2), "The Greater Journey" by David McCullough (4) and "TouchPoints" by Douglas Conant & Mette Norgaard (10).

There are two books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They include "Frankenstein: The Dead Town" by Dean Koontz (1) and "Foreign Influence" by Brad Thor (3).
