2009 Bestsellers for Summer Reading
In the March 22, 2010 issue, Publishers Weekly provided a list of the bestselling hardcover books in 2009 and ranked them by total number of sales. The top selling fiction and nonfiction titles, respectively, were The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown and Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin.
Months have passed, so why report this information now? Summer is around the corner and this gives you an opportunity to check out some bestselling titles you may have missed. Instead of providing the entire list, I am listing the Top 10 nonfiction titles that fall into the subject areas for the Arts, Literature & Sports Department. I think it's interesting to note that 7 of the 10 titles are biography/memoir.
