Little Change Among Mormon Titles on Bestseller Lists
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- There was little change among the Mormon titles
on US best seller lists this past week. In all, six titles are on the
lists, with Anne Perry's Whitechapel Conspiracy dropping back off the
lists, probably temporarily, replaced by Card's Ender's Game, which
rejoined the list, also probably temporarily.
The little change marks the slow nature of book sales this time of
year. As noted in prior weeks, Steven Covey's Seven Habits has risen,
while newer titles have dropped, as steady sales of a well-known
title outshine more sensitive sales of newer titles.
The current titles on bestseller lists are:
Nothing Like it in the World, by Stephen Ambrose
A history of the building of the transcontinental railroad in the US.
Ambrose, a highly regarded historian, details the involvement of
Mormons in building crucial portions of the road, including the
driving of the "golden spike" in the heart of Mormon territory.
