‘The Whole30′ Wallops the Rest for Amazon Book Sales (Again)

As Americans are looking down the barrel of swimsuit season, and June, the most popular month to get married is upon us, the popular “Whole 30″ cookbook yet again topped the list for bestselling cookbook on Amazon.com.
“For the second month in a row, Thug Kitchen is the maid-of-honor to the Whole30 bride,” Amazon book editor Seira Wilson told us over email. We couldn’t have said it better. The diet and lifestyle book by Dallas and Melissa Hartwig zoomed up the Amazon food book charts last month, and since then we’ve seen it everywhere — even this editor is currently taking the challenge (and writing about her misadventures).
Wilson noted that “we’re still seeing the power of vegan and veggie cookbooks,” including best-selling titles from previous months 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse by JJ Smith, Inspiralized by Ali Maffucci, The Skinnytaste Cookbook by Gina Homolka, The Plantpower Way by Rich Roll, and Against All Grain: Delectable Paleo Recipes to Eat Well & Feel Great by Danielle Walker.
In keeping with the trend, the single newcomer to Amazon’s top food book this month was The Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Liddon, which features vegan recipes “to glow from the inside out.”
But there’s hope yet for you staunch carnivores. Perhaps heralding summer grilling seasons, Franklin Barbecue: A Meat-Smoking Manifesto by Aaron Franklin is sitting pretty at a comfortable sixth place.
