Notes:
     The slow summer continued in August at the complete review, but user-interst started to perk up again in the final week as back-to-school time gets in full swing.
     There was very little movement on the list, but our review-overview of Maurice Dantec's Babylon Babies did do very well, with the movie version just coming out (to horrible reviews) in the US.

For recent bestseller lists, go to previous lists.
For annual and older lists, see also the 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 lists.
