I love to see what’s selling in different cities and book stores around the country to provide ballast for the New York Time’s Best Seller List.  The July best sellers from AbeBooks (now owned by the voracious Amazon.com) appeared recently.  There wasn’t anything too different about it from other such lists except for the appearance of Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine.

Bradbury published a sequel to his 1957 semi-autobiographical novel in 2006 entitled Farewell Summer.  The paperback edition just came out this summer.  Could that have driven book buyers to also purchase Dandelion Wine in numbers large enough to be the 9th best-selling book on AbeBooks?  Can anybody shed any light on this oddity?
