Best Sellers November

My Dream Time

Two new titles took the first and third spots this month. 'My Dream Time: A memoir of tennis & teamwork' by Ash Barty was top seller with 2,158 sales. Close behind was 'Exiles', slipping just one spot to second and selling 1,904 copies (-1,615).

Coming in third was 'Barefoot Kids' the latest offering from Scott Pape, bestselling author of 'The Barefoot Investor' with 1,654 sales.

Local bookshop site.

The much requested and long awaited local bookstore site is slowly being rolling out for Australian stores.

The idea is to give book buyers a single place to find who has the book they want and then connect them to a local shop that has it.

Currently there are over 400k different titles on shelves in Circle stores in Australia. This provides an answer to Amazon and helps people buy local (or not have to wait to have a book shipped around the world).

Book buyers will be able to find all that books they want locally and I think get a better service at the same time.

Click lobk.circlesoft.net to see the beta version and the stores that have been helping us test it. The next step is to add everyone else and soft launch.
