Lawrence Knorr's "Wonder Boy: The Story of Carl Scheib - The Youngest Player in American League History" nabbed the top spot thanks to a well-attended event in Gratz, PA honoring the former Philadelphia Athletic. The event also received substantial media attention. Knorr also grabbed #17 with "There is Something about Rough and Ready," #35 with "Keystone Tombstones Civil War" in tandem with Joe Farrell and Joe Farley, and #45 with "General John Reynolds." Sherri Maret's new childrens hardcover "The Gingerbread Man's School Adventure" placed thanks to advance purchases. Mark Singel's memoir "A Year of Change and Consequences" held strong at #3 due to media attention and planned events. Alan Mindell's "The B Team" #4 and "The Closer" #14 continue to benefit from author events. Last month's #1 by Michele Livingston - "Living in the Afterlife" - continued to sell well, holding at #5. Her "Messages from Beyond" nabbed the 20th spot.
The company debuted a top 50 bestseller list this month. History / Memoir / Biography / Genealogy titles took 25 of the positions. Thriller Fiction was the next most prevelant category.
The company released eight new titles in July:
