Diane Muldrow’s funny and gentle ‘guide to life’ - Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book - is our top seller for last week. A longtime editor of the iconic Little Golden Books, Muldrow realised that, despite their whimsical appearance, there was hardly a real-life situation that hadn’t been covered in the these books, and so set out to provide adults with a refresher course.

Our list also includes Jack Heath’s young adult novel, Ink Inc., which we were thrilled to launch last Friday. Heath wrote about why he decided to leave the traditional publishing environment and self-publish this particular title on our blog, and you can read his words here.
