Back in 1997, former Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham's memoir, Personal History, had a 15-week run on PW's hardcover charts and an eight-week trade paperback stay a year later. Graham's death last month has clearly sent many back into the stores to read about this influential woman: the book is back on our trade paper list, and Vintage has gone back to press for an 18th printing of 25,000 copies, bringing the total to more than 402,000.
