TDFD_0116 Jason Zweig’s The Devil’s Financial Dictionary moved up to the top of this month’s list as well as  The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science by J. Kenji López-Alt and Short Selling: Finding Uncommon Short Ideas by Amit Kumar. The best-selling (by far) was the new sub-$50 Kindle Fire tablets which have been called the “paperback books” of tablets. In addition we published a guest post from Josh Maher author of Startup Wealth: How the Best Angel Investors Make Money in Startups on what stock market investors can learn from startup investors. This propelled Josh’s book onto the list as well.

We present sales two ways: the first is by unit sales and the second way is by revenue which can be notably different.
