Best Sellers of the Week Here and Elsewhere *
* Checking this feature once a quarter or so will help us keep tabs on our popular culture as we move along. Here is the list from last October for comparison. (Image #6.)
“Mein Kampf” was a best seller back in October. I guess everybody is up to speed on Hitler’s trip by now. “The Grapes of Wrath” continues quite popular. I don’t see “Capt. Horatio Hornblower” on any of today’s lists, but it must be doing OK since there was a full-page ad for it in yesterday’s (Sunday’s) book review supplement. Some new best sellers since October: “Kitty Foyle,” by Christopher Morley, is hot all across the fruited plain. “Your Income Tax” is on a few of the non-fiction lists. “The Nazarene,” by Sholem Asch, is big on the fiction lists. And in Atlanta, “How to Play Winning Checkers,” by Millard Hopper, is #2.
