The Pearl Bump
There’s a rival to the Colbert Bump — the Pearl Bump.
The three under-the-radar books that Nancy Pearl recommended on NPR’s Morning Edition yesterday all made significant jumps on Amazon’s sales rankings.
The book she called “fabulous, fabulous,” The Selected Works Of T. S. Spivet by Reif Larsen, (Penguin Press, 2009) broke in to the top 100, rising to #80.
Meanwhile, Colbert featured an author on his show yesterday who hardly needs the bump, John Green. His book, The Fault in Our Stars, continues at #1.
