Bestsellers: Bestseller Lists See No Change
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- On both the LDS bestseller list and among the
Mormon titles on the broader US national bestseller lists, there was
little change. The new paperback of LDS Church President Gordon B.
Hinckley's book "Standing for Something" remained a the top of the
LDS bestsellers and the three Mormon titles that have been on the
national lists for the longest all remained at about the same rank.
The only significant movement on the LDS bestseller list was the
introduction of a new gift book, Chad Hawkins' "The First 100
Temples," which features his drawings of many of the Temples.
The current titles on US National 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.
