The 3-5-7 guidebook was also on the list at #18 John E Wade II's "The Bipolar Millionaire" returned the charts at #4 thanks to interest in New Orleans. Marie Sontag's three YA fiction titles "The Bronze Dagger," "The Alabaster Jar," and "Rising Hope" were at 5, 7, & 9 on the chart due to invetory purchases for author appearances.
