Weekly Bestsellers, 1 August 2016

Several isolated debuts this week, since they appear on a single list each without appearing on any others: most impressively, Michael J. Sullivan’s Age of Myth (Del Rey), #2 on the Washington Post list; Sylvain Neuvel’s Sleeping Giants (Del Rey), #47 on the USA Today list; and Gail Carriger’s Imprudence (Orbit), #131 on the USA Today list. But none of them appear on any other lists.
