For once no wizard or chef took the crown: What Not To Wear, the Trinny-and-Susannah makeover book, led, with Terry Pratchett's Night Watch close behind. The dominant pattern is the British nonfiction shelf in full swing, Simon Schama's three-volume A History of Britain, Antony Beevor's Berlin: The Downfall and Michael Moore's Stupid White Men charting twice. Surprises include Yann Martel's Life Of Pi quietly climbing before its Booker win, and Schott's Original Miscellany, a book of trivia that nobody saw coming. Delia Smith alone places four How to Cook titles. A list of makeovers, history and miscellany rather than fiction.
