The Bestseller Charts Analysis
starting to ease, but the print market had an unusually healthy week, at 3.7 million books sold for £32.4m. This was a rise of 3% in volume and 1.2% in value week on week, and the highest for both measures since the week Bored of Lunch: The Healthy Air Fryer Book sold over 100,000 copies in
mid-March. With volume up 7.1% in volume and value up 13.4% against the same week in 2022, it was only the eighth week in 2023 that saw a rise for both year on year. Average selling price, at £8.71, also dipped to its lowest level since early April.
It Starts with Us held firm in the Mass Market Fiction number one slot, despite a strong challenge from Claire Douglas’ insurgent The Woman Who
Lied, which leapfrogged Gabrielle Zevin’s Waterstones Fiction Book of the Month Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
