Angela Harding Spring Unfurled Sphere, £12.99, 9781408721919 The first of Harding’s seasonal quartet is the biggest out-performer for indies, appearing in 48th place– 793 spots higher than its berth in the TCM. Harding also has the distinction of being the only author to have two books in the Indie Non- Fiction Top 50, with Still Waters & Wild Waves also making an appearance.

Robert Macfarlane ( 2) Is a River Alive? Hamish Hamilton, £25, 9780241624814 Another author who over-indexes with indie bookshops is Harding’s fellow nature writer Robert Macfarlane. Is a River Alive? appears in 37th in the Top 50, despite being on sale for only one week of the data period – that’s 654 places higher than it appears in the wider TCM’s Non-Fiction list, where it sold 5,646 copies in its first week.

Just one Natural History title features here and in the TCM Top 50: The Almanac by Lia Leendertz ( 1), which was the ninth-bestselling title through indie bookshops. Twelve biographies and memoirs
appear in the TCM Top 50, tied for first place with the various food and drink categories– though the sectors have varying fortunes in the indie chart. A total of 14 biog- raphies made the ranking of best- sellers through independent bookshop, including seven that don’t appear at all in the equivalent list for the UK as a whole, while just four cookbooks make it onto the list, including the latest offer- ings from Jay Rayner and Meera Sodha, which are unique to the indie chart.
