Commentary:

• Both editions of The Wimpy Kid 7 remain in the top two slots, with the hardcover placing at #30 on the overall Amazon books list.
• Double digit jumps up by books like Persepolis, Fun Home, and Maus signal that the new college semester has begun.
• Just a couple of new books, down near the bottom: Walt Disney's Nine Old Men: The Flipbooks and Abina and the Important Men.
• Dead Watch: Just four Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, though two of those are still in the top ten. I'm sure that things will pick up again in February when the television series returns.
