NOVEMBER BESTSELLERS. It's no surprise that last month's bestsellers' list is dominated by writers who appeared at the recently concluded George Town Literary Festival – widely regarded as the best edition so far. One oddity, especially within the book trade, is that four poetry titles...
OCTOBER BESTSELLERS. We're a little late with this, so let's get straight down to business with the bestsellers for October. As always there's a mixture of the new and the familiar. It's surely interesting that the top three titles all engage with the historical and...
