Nonfiction Bestsellers, for the Week Ending Jan. 8, 2006
While James Frey dominates the Nonfiction Chart with A Million Little Pieces at No. 1 and My Friend Leonard at No. 3, another Oprah cohort, Dr. Phil McGraw, jumps into the Top 5 with his latest self-helper, Love Smart: Find the One You Want?Fix the One You Got. Reaching its highest
spot on the chart, Love Smart sold 21,000 units last week to bring its total sales to more than 158,000 units since its publication on Dec. 6. During the week of the book's release, Dr. Phil used his show to host champagne parties filled with single men and women and has encouraged guests to read the book as a "homework assignment."
