Note from the Times: This bestseller list comes to us straight from The Raven Book Store in Lawrence. See other editions of the list here.
Another “only book store in the world with this Top 10 list” — Local author Louise Krug is holding down the top spot with her stellar new release and event held last week. Also, the new edition of Kelly Kindscher’s classic guidebook to edible prairie plants has been a highly sought after title.
You can definitely tell the Christmas season is starting with the rest of the titles on the list, but also the re-listing of Lawrence classic “Ladybird, Collected” shows people are getting gifts in order for their out-of-town, Lawrence-curious relatives.
