Once again, my apologies for missing the bestsellers lists for the week ended April 7 due to the pre-election volume of political stories. The No. 1 fiction bestseller was The Elements by Erin Moure, and the non-fiction bestseller was Max Eisen’s By Chance Alone: A Remarkable Story of True Courage and Survival at Auschwitz.
