Back on the chart is The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life by Men's Health editor-in-chief David Zinczenko and Ted Spiker. About a month ago, Rodale was reporting 72,500 copies in print after three trips to press; currently, after eight trips to press, Abs is up to 182,500 copies. One reason for the higher landing was the completion of a three-part series on Good Morning America (July 5 and 21 and August 18). Three participants lost a total of 50 pounds by following the program.

Crown praises its author Suzanne Somers for being "a tireless promoter" for

The Sexy Years. The publisher reports that it continues to be inundated with media requests for Somers. Some of the recent gigs—Fox & Friends, TheCBS Early Show, Live! with Regis & Kelly and Deborah Norville Tonight—propelled her back onto the charts. Total copies in print after six trips to press: 621,600.
