Two Agency Titles in Top Ten
18 Oct 2011
Congratulations to Cathy Glass and Casey Watson whose respective The Night The Angels Came and The Boy No One Loved, both published by Harper Collins, are no 2 and 10 in this week’s paperback non-fiction bestseller list. It is particularly impressive for The Boy Who No One Loved as it was only published on Thursday and sales are recorded from Saturday to Saturday. It cannot be often that the top ten has two books from the same agent and publisher.
