‘Bestsellers’ (no author)

‘Lord Beaverbrook’s new book, the Decline and Fall of Lloyd George, is London’s top-seller in its first week of publication. The Kama Sutra is now second, followed by three American books: Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, J.D Salinger’s Raise the Roof Beam, Carpenters, and James Baldwin’s Another Country. Sixth is Charlotte Bingham’s Coronet Among the Weeds.’
