Here is the New York Times Hardcover Business Bestsellers list for September, 2011.

A couple of observations:  we clearly still want to know just what caused the financial meltdown, and we keep looking for explanations.  And, personal and finance books seem to be in need.  There are a lot of “still on the list” books:  Ferris, the Heath Brothers, Hsieh, Schultz.

At the First Friday Book Synopsis, my colleague Karl Krayer and I have presented synopses of, either at our event or for a “private client,” #’s  2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 14.  I’m not quite sure that any of the new titles quite fit for the First Friday Book Synopsis.

Here’s the list (read the full list, with brief info about each book, at the New York Times here):

1	NOTHING TO LOSE, EVERYTHING TO GAIN, by Ryan Blair.
2	AFTERSHOCK, by David Wiedemer, Robert A. Wiedemer and Cindy Spitzer.
