Dave Grohl leapfrogged Simon & Schuster stablemate Bob Mortimer to claim the Paperback Non-fiction number one with The Storyteller, as The Official Highway Code (TSO) and Dolly Alderton’s Everything I Know About Love (Penguin) held firm in third and fourth place. Dr Gwen Adshead and Eileen Horne’s The Devil You Know: Encounters in Forensic Psychiatry (Faber) débuted in 10th place.
Dr Julie Smith’s Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? (Michael Joseph) returned to the Hardback Non-fiction top spot for the first time since mid-May. The self-help title is yet to fall out of the category chart’s top three since publication in January, shifting more than 200,000 copies in that time.
Meliz Berg’s cookbook Meliz’s Kitchen (Ebury) was the highest new entry in Hardback Non-fiction, soaring into second place, as Ed Yong’s An Immense World (The Bodley Head) débuted in eighth.
