The Social Network, the movie about the founding of Facebook, led the box office this weekend, as expected. The tie-in edition of the book it was based on, Accidental Billionaires, also rose on Amazon sales rankings. Another recent title about the company, The Facebook Effect, also received a boost.

The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World David Kirkpatrick Retail Price: $26.00 Hardcover: 384 pages Publisher: Simon & Schuster – (2010-06-08) ISBN / EAN: 1439102112 / 9781439102114

Even though Let Me In was considered a box office disappointment, it gave the Swedish horror novel, published in hardcover in the US in 2007, a boost to its highest point yet on Amazon sales rankings.

Let Me In John Ajvide Lindqvist Retail Price: $15.99 Paperback: 496 pages Publisher: St. Martin’s Griffin – (2010-08-31) ISBN / EAN: 0312656491 / 9780312656492

And, despite being in theaters for over seven weeks, the highest-ranking tie-in is still Eat, Pray, Love. It received another boost this weekend; but not as high as it’s opening weekend, when it rose to #2.
