Mormon News Introduces Bestsellers in LDS Bookstores
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Trying to fill a void in news about Mormon books,
Mormon News today introduces a bestseller list of those books sold in LDS
bookstores. The list of 15 books and other LDS products attempts to show
which books are selling best in the LDS market. However, the current list is
based on information from fewer than 40 stores, a figure we hope to improve
on in the near future.
Meanwhile, on the national bestseller lists, all the Mormon-related titles
stayed on at least one list, except for Sean Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly
Effective Teens," which appeared on the lists briefly last week, possibly
because of a bulk sale. Most of the titles are slipping on the lists, except
for Stephen R. Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," which
jumped this past week.
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.
