Two new books jumped to the top of the lists in March. Apparently a lot of Abnormal Returns readers want to become hedge fund managers because Ted Seides’ So You Want to Start a Hedge Fund: Lessons for Managers and Allocators did well. As did Tim Maurer’s Simple Money: A No-Nonsense Guide to Personal Finance.

On the non-book front our readers continued to get ready for April 18th with numerous TurboTax purchases. A new hit with readers is the Amazon Echo which is getting rave reviews from the tech gadget guys. On the high end readers also were attracted to the new Eero home wi-fi system that aims to eliminate dead wireless spots in your home.

For more book ideas you can check out our post compiling our many book links as well as last month’s top selling list. We present sales two ways: the first is by unit sales and the second way is by revenue which can be notably different. Here are the books (combined print and Kindle* that Abnormal Returns readers purchased at Amazon during March 2016:
