Pulitzer Impacts Sales
Daisy Maryles -- 5/4/98
Vintage is in the enviable position of reaping the benefits of two 1998 Pulitzer Prizes. Katharine Graham's Personal History, which won for biography, enjoys a second week on PW's trade paper chart, and copies in print now total 125,000; prior to winning the prize, the book's in-print total was 90,000. The fiction winner, American Pastoral by Phillip Roth, has more than doubled its initial copies in print; the current total is 100,000. Both books are doing particularly well at independent bookstores across the county. Personal History is the #2 trade paper nonfiction bestseller on the Independent list and American Pastoral is the #1 trade paper fiction bestseller.
