January has come and gone, and it’s time for our monthly list of ABC Bestsellers. These titles are taken from the sold-books data across all 3 ABCs, and gives us an insight into the books you love (to buy, at least ;-)).
The highly anticipated Onyx Storm finally arrived and became a storm of its own from the get-go. And On Freedom and Why Nations Fail are also in this list, the first buoyed by the author being in both Amsterdam and The Hague at the end of the January, and the latter from the authors winning the Nobel Prize in Economics. Both are interesting titles for these stormy times.
