The Devil Delivered continued to hold the top spot this week. The signed paperback is already out of print, so I don’t expect to have copies for much longer. The surprise (for me) was Mirrormask. Yes, Neil Gaiman normally sells well, but this is an illustrated film script and we haven’t had much luck with things like that in the past.

There were no surprises this week. The three PS Publishing books and Red Scream were definitely going to take the top spot whatever week they arrived. We had a significant number of orders for these. I’ve been packing boxes almost non-stop every night since last Wednesday. On top of this, other books like Moonheart by Charles de Lint, King Rat by China Mieville, Dead as a Doornail (signed) by Charlaine Harris, and Voluntary Committal by Joe Hill also had strong showings, but fell just short of the top 5.
