| Sumario: | The impact of three-for-two and two-for-£ 10 summer reading promotions is clear. Paperback novels and non-fiction take the bulk of places and other than 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,' only one book, Bill Bryson's 'A Short History of Nearly Everything,' is a hardback. Big trade publishers dominate, but Canongate continues to fly the flag for small independents with Yann Mattel's 'Life of Pi.' A combination of the summer promos and strong word-of-mouth means the book has recorded its third successive week-on-week growth in unit sales, two months after it was published.
