Weekly Bestsellers, 18 July 2016

Ben H. Winters’ Underground Airlines (Mulholland), and alternate history novel that’s gotten publicity and a lot of reviews in the past couple weeks, cracks the New York Times fiction hardcover list at #20 this week.

Last week’s showing of a new edition of L. Ron Hubbard’s Battlefield Earth was short-lived; it’s dropped off all lists this week.
