We are definitely middle-brow.
The most suprising sale so far is Democracy In America. We sell a lot of 'popular history' books, typically those that read more like novels (Antonia Fraser, Alison Weir, Stephen Ambrose etc.).
Crime does very well for us (Martina Cole, Ian Rankin, Lee Child etc.)
Thrillers (James Patterson, John Grisham, etc.)
Chick-lit (Sophie Kinsella, Adele Parks, Marian Keyes etc.)
Middle-brow fiction (Sebastian Faulks, Ian McEwan, William Boyd, David Mitchell).
Classics (Jane Austen, Dickens, the Brontes, etc.)
We DON'T sell anything too literary, too academic, or too pricey!
