Commentary:

* A good deal of stability this week, especially at the top of the chart where books move by no more than a couple of slots.

* The highest debut this week is for the KISS Kompendium, no doubt helped by the hefty discount granted by Amazon off of the books hefty $75 list price.

* It appears that the best-selling book featuring a Marvel property this holiday season will be a book not published by Marvel itself (DK's Marvel Encyclopedia).
