This TOP OF THE CHART SALLY ROONEY:


It’s a similar story for Jamie Oliver whose latest cookbook Simply Jamie takes third position in the charts, some 25 years aſter the chef’s first release, The Naked Chef. Oliver’s total volume (19,654 copies) is down 4.6% on the launch week of his 2023 outing, though this year’s publication date is about a month later than his usual late August release. Having said all that, thanks to a slightly increased r.r.p. Oliver’s value sales are up 1.1% (to just under £300,000), and Oliver easily grabbed the Hardback Non-Fiction top spot, the 179th time he has crowned that chart.


The highest new


entry in the Children’s corner of the market is Catherine Doyle’s The Dagger and the Flame which notches up sales of 12,928 copies thanks to an appearance in


Fairyloot’s September subscription box. It just pips Rick Riordan’s latest Percy Jackson title Wrath of the Triple Goddess which setles for fiſth place in the overall Official UK Top 50.

hile the physical charts are all about the latest new releases in hardback, it’s The Figurine by Victoria Hislop that enjoys a


second week at the top of the Bookstat e-book chart. It extends its lead this week to 14,387 downloads but has faced stiff competition from the likes of L J Ross, Sophie Kinsella and Claire Douglas, all of whom have notched up more than 10,000 e-book sales this week. Despite a stellar performance in hardback, Sally


Rooney’s Intermezzo hasn’t made it into the top 10 Bookstat chart, instead having to settle for the 13th position. In fact, the only new release into the top of Bookstat this week is Peter James’ One Of Us Is Dead, which débuts in ninth. The only other new additions to the top 10 this


week are for Freida McFadden whose 2022 titles The Housemaid and Never Lie make their way back to the top of the charts. The Publisher E-book Ranking finds very little change at the top with Richard Osman retaining his number one position with his latest crime novel We Solve Murders. Fiona Gibson’s
