June saw a bunch of books go on sale for the Kindle including: Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics by Richard Thaler and Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance. We had a couple of book-related posts up on The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson and The Wisdom of Finance: Discovering Humanity in the World of Risk and Return by Mihir Desai. On the product front, readers bought a bunch of Amazon Dash Wands, Echo Dots and the new Echo Shows.

For more book ideas you can check out our latest post compiling our many book links as well as last month’s best-sellers list. We present sales two ways: the first is by unit sales and the second is by revenue which can be notably different. Here are the books (combined print, Kindle* and Audible.com) that Abnormal Returns readers purchased at Amazon during June 2017:
