A biography of the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was Amazon's
best-selling book this year despite hitting store shelves and electronic
readers only in late October, Amazon said yesterday.
"Steve Jobs"
by Walter Isaacson, which went on sale on October 24, less than three
weeks after Job's death, topped the list of Amazon top-selling books for
2011, print and Kindle editions combined, the Seattle-based company
said.
"Even though it was published in October, the sales have
been phenomenal in both formats," said Chris Schluep, Amazon's senior
editor of books.
Next on the list was "Bossypants" by comedian
Tina Fey and "A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard, a California girl who was
kidnapped as a child and held for nearly two decades.
Number four on the top 10 list was "The Mill River Recluse," a self-published Kindle novel by Darcie Chan.
"In
the Garden of the Beasts" by Erik Larson was next, followed by "A Dance
with Dragons" by George R.R. Martin, "The Paris Wife" by Paula McLain
and "The Litigators" by John Grisham.
Another self-published
Kindle book, "The Abbey" by Chris Culver, was number nine on the list
while "Inheritance (The Inheritance Cycle)" by Christopher Paolini
rounded out the top 10.
