An "alternative history" by Newt Gingrich & William R. Forstchen, Gettysburg: A Novel of the Civil War (Thomas Dunne Books) debuts on 2 lists this week. (The Amazon page -- click on the cover image -- has Publishers Weekly and Booklist reviews, plus reader reviews). Gingrich is interviewed in this weekend's New York Times Magazine, though with only indirect reference to this new novel.
Publishers Weekly has updated its children's lists for June, this week. Amazon is delinquent for a second week; its rankings haven't changed since two weeks ago. BookSense and Wall Street Journal are updated this week, after misses last week.
The paperback of Orson Scott Card's Shadow Puppets (Tor) debuts on 2 lists this week.
