Raven Book Store Bestsellers

New ordering policies from a corporate book store make it harder for debut authors to get hardcover books on shelves, the Raven Book Store writes. This week’s bestsellers present “an interesting study in contrast between independent and corporate bookselling.”

“This week’s top 4 are all from events we’ve done at the Raven! Thanks so much for attending our events and buying these great books!” the Raven Book Store writes.

“The next few weeks are absolutely packed with great authors and fantastic books, and we hope to see you there!” the Raven Book Store writes.

“You can’t stop the Heartstoppers! Alice Oseman’s series of comics dominates our list this week, with volumes 1, 2, and 3 each making appearances (and 4 isn’t that far behind).”

“Here are this week’s bestsellers. We hope you find them interesting.”
And, “Here are some other links that we hope you find interesting.”

“The Raven was recently awarded Publishers Weekly’s Bookstore of the Year award, a huge honor that we’re very proud of. Believe it or not, however, this was not the first national championship to come to Lawrence this year.”

“Would you look at that: We have an 80% local bestseller list this week! If there’s one thing Raven customers truly love, it’s books either about Kansas or by Kansas authors (or both at the same time!).”
