Going UP

The Bookseller compile The Accelerator Chart of books that have increased their sales and been on sale for at least two weeks. This week Jo Shapcott tops the poll by a long way which isn't bad for a poetry book priced at £9.99. The next week she sold 2,008 copies.
And it cheered me to see that one of the MOG books by Judith Kerr and written in 1970 was in third place because of sales over Christmas - my children grew up with them and we had our very own Mog for several years, a beautiful and highly intelligent tabby.
