Candice Millard’s The Destiny of the Republic broke into the Amazon Top 100, moving to # 67 (from #1,216) as a result of yesterday’s feature on CBS Sunday Morning.
For most libraries, copies are still not available on the shelves; this is a good opportunity to make use of the Great Nonfiction Read-Alikes list from the program of the same name at ALA — Alene Moroni, King County, provided an extensive list of historical true crime titles, including Millard’s book. As Alene points out, you can spot these book by their subtitles, which often include the words “madness,” “mayhem” or “murder.”
