BookFinder.com Journal

We’ve just released the 2007 edition of the BookFinder.com Report.

The Report tracks the most sought-after out-of-print books in America, breaking down demand for popular OOP titles in ten different genres.

We know publishing is a man’s world, but some of this year’s in-demand titles are even more testosterone-driven than usual:

• Kingsley Amis’ The Book of Bond, or Every Man His Own 007
• The Great Tool Emporium, a coffee-table “pictorial extravaganza of the tools of yesterday and today”
• Hell, I Was There! , the autobiography of big game hunter and firearms innovator Elmer Keith (the creator of the .357 Magnum, among others)
• Beyond Backpacking by controversial extreme ultralight backpacking advocate Ray Jardine, who suggests leaving behind tents, sleeping bags, and water filtration systems

Celebrity musicians also make a good showing:

• Madonna’s Sex, the metal-clad book of nudie pics
• I Do: Achieving Your Dream Wedding by Jessica Simpson (insert your own snarky comment here)
• Johnny Cash’s original autobiography, Man in Black: His Own Story in His Own Words

As do fave out-of-print knitting titles:

• The Principles of Knitting by June Hiatt
• Aran Knitting by Alice Starmore
• Knitting Lace: A Workshop with Patterns and Projects by Susanna Lewis
