Following a three-week run last year on PW's nonfiction list, Paris to the Moon now makes its second appearance on our trade paperback chart—and this week we've got the publisher correct! Adam Gopnik's widely lauded account of his five-year reportorial stint in the City of Light is the lead title in the Random House Trade Paperbacks imprint (last week's list identified the book, incorrectly, as a Vintage release). Published September 18, the Paris paperback, in the words of RH publicity manager Kimberly Burns, "started to sell the moment booksellers got it out of the boxes." Copies in print after three trips to press total 136,000. Gopnik's out on tour once again, making several bookstore appearances this month and next in New York, Atlanta, Montreal, Miami, etc.—his West Coast engagements were postponed due to the September 11 tragedy. (Gopnik, who currently pens the "New York Journals" column for the New Yorker, wrote movingly of those events—"The City and the Pillars: Taking a Long Walk Home"—in the magazine's September 24 issue.)
