Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous titles dominated the October non-fiction list, filling half the slots, while Harry Potter took 3 places on the fiction list. The big news, though, came from the Antiquarian & Collectible Top 5 where a 3' 50 lb. heavyweight came in at #1 after garnering 41 bids and $25,655. Shipment was by crate only with the US seller calculating the price based on the winner's location. The "mammoth medieval - renaissance choir book, Office of the Dead, illuminated manuscript in Latin on original parchment [Spain, 1541]" started at $1 and sold on October 8 for $25,655.
