*No, John wasn't at the store. We often get to supply the books for his appearances elsewhere.
@ We had 2 number of paperbacks that also appeared on our hardcover list, with one book, Pachinko, making the top ten for each format. But don't sell News of the World short.
#Seven books were on last year's paperback top 50. The #1 paperback of 2016 is #4 for 2017.
Rupi Kaur is the only author to have two books in the top 50.
Oh, and since someone asked, I read 25 of these 50 books.
