Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid stays on the top once again, and slips a bit more to #67 on the overall chart.

* Odd is on Our Side (Kindle Edition) moves up to #2 on the chart and is the #661 Paid book in the Kindle Store (the print edition of Odd is gone from the chart all together).

* A couple of the college books stay strong (Maus, Persepolis) while others slip, signaling the end of the start of the term.

* The story for Scott Pilgrim remains the same as last week: The box set remains strong, while individual volumes continue to be (relatively) weak, all in the bottom half of the chart.

* Three manga titles debut this week: the latest Black Butler and Naruto; and the first Highschool of the Dead volume. It's pretty rare for a first volume of a manga series to chart.

* The bottom of the top 50 chart is a relatively healthy #2,674 overall.
