| | |  Potter Tops Hot Summer Reading List
Yahoo has announced that Harry is at the top of this summer's hot book list. Quote:
Of course, the runaway hit of the summer will undoubtedly be "Harry Potter," which comes out in July. Scholastic, Inc., the U.S. publisher of J.K. Rowling's fantasy series, has announced a first printing of 10.8 million copies of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," the largest such printing for a hardcover release in this country. The previous record holder was "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which came out in 2003 with a first run of 6.8 million.
"Summer is our best selling period. We get three solid months of sales and with a 'Potter' book coming out it, figures will be really great," Hensley said
