Commentary:

• Wimpy Kid 7. Still #1. Etc. Etc. How to Tell... is #19 overall; the Walking Dead Compendia are #20 & #29 overall;  Wimpy Kid 6 is #51 overall; WK Do-It-Yourself Book is #78 overall; WD 17 is #79 overall; Dork Diaries 5 is #89 overall; the Dilbert Calender is #92 overall; Darth Vader & Son is #100 overall.
• Top debut this week is a smaller version of the Wimpy Kid Box Set. The only other debut is a New Yorker cartoon desk calendar.
• Dead Watch: Fourteen Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, up two from last week. But the mid-season finale of the tv show does not bring the overwhelming surge that the season finale brought this past spring, likely due to any surge clashing up against traditional holiday buying patterns.
