This Week's Bestselling Northwest Books

Updated July 18, 2007

Three books by northwest authors are on this week's Northwest Bestsellers lists. Chuck Palahniuk's Rant is on the hardcover fiction list. J.A. Jance's Dead Wrong is on the paperback bestsellers list. And, Christopher Paolini's Eldest is on the children's list. I might note here that J.K. Rowling's six books in the Harry Potter series took six of the ten spots on the children's list in the runup to her seventh Harry Potter book.

All these books are available via northwest-books.com. Just fill in the title in the Amazon search. When you do that, I make a (very) small commission. - Art Shotwell
