What today's Open Library books reveal
Labor Day self-help still owns ranks 1 through 4: Clear, Housel, Greene, Kiyosaki. That is a tighter money-and-habits cluster than September 6, when Carnegie sat at 5 and Covey at 8.
Potter slipping 3 to 5 makes room for Hosseini at 6 and Twilight at 10. Fiction is back after yesterday's children's and Portuguese-catalog rows (Wimpy Kid, O Alquimista) left. Rumelt at 7 is a strategy text, not a holiday novel.
Esquire's title left on September 6 and returned at 9 on September 7. That is a one-day catalog bounce, not a documented campaign. get_growth was skipped; these rows are catalog objects, not keyword sources. Demand-series pricing lives on the Exploding Topics pricing post.
