Bestsellers: Standing for Something to be Released
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- President Gordon B. Hinckley's book "Standing
for Something" will be released in paperback next week, and may hit
some bestseller lists in the coming weeks. But on the current
national bestseller lists, the Mormon-related titles stayed basically
the same, with Anne Perry's "Whitechapel Conspiracy" dropping off the
lists, and the forthcoming book by Martha Nibley Beck, which will
also be released next week, staying on the "Tomorrow's Bestseller"
list.
On the LDS list, several titles were added, including Greg Olsen's
"Expressions of Faith" and a new edition of Leonard Arrington and
Susan Arrington Madsen's "Mothers of the Prophets."
The current titles on US National bestseller lists are:

A history of the building of the transcontinental railroad in the US.
