NONFICTION BESTSELLERS: Readers Handle the Truth as Nonfiction Sales Climb
It's beginning to look a lot like shopping: All but one title in the entire 50-deep Adult Nonfiction Chart increased in sales from the previous week as the holiday buying season picked up steam. A Million Little Pieces continues its reign as No. 1 for the 12th consecutive week after selling 105,000
units. It's been nearly three months since Oprah first ordained Pieces as a pick for her book club, yet demand stays high. Since the announcement, the Oprah edition of Pieces sold more than 1,351,000 units. Frank McCourt's Teacher Man had its best week of sales so far, selling 61,000 units, to land at No. 2, bumping Rachael Ray 365 to No. 3. Jimmy Carter'S Our Endangered Values and Team of Rivals, by Doris Kearns Goodwin, also switched places this week, coming in at No. 4 and 5, respectively.
