Non-Fiction: Tom Parker's Hope notches up a second week in the hardback chart
Tom Parker’s posthumously-published Hope (Blink) spent a second week in the Hardback Non-Fiction number one, selling 8,053 copies.
Dan Toombs’ Curry Guy BBQ (Quadrille) débuted in sixth place, as the sun came out across the UK, but last week’s non-fiction chart was dominated by Queen-lit. Tina Brown’s exposé, The Palace Papers (Century), rose, as did its Century stablemate David Montenegro’s The Red Arrows, the Queen’s dresser Angela Kelly’s memoir The Other Side of the Coin (HarperCollins) and Robert Hardman’s Queen of Our Times (Macmillan). Andrew Morton’s The Queen and Karen Dolby’s The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II débuted (both Michael O’Mara).
Bob Mortimer’s And Away... (S&S) claimed the Paperback Non-Fiction pole for a second week, with 11,799 copies sold in its second week on the shelves—a rise of 48% in volume against its launch week.
