A title promoting the benefits of growing one's own pharmaceuticals and two of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy are among Amazon.co.uk's bestselling new releases of 2009 so far.
In a top 100 
revealed on its website, Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol unsurprisingly sits at number one. However, the top 10 is an eclectic mix of books including a title about cupcake cookery, a work of fiction from one of the Big Beasts and Booker winner Wolf Hall.
Larsson's conclusion to the Millennium trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, is the second bestselling new release with his previous book, The Girl Who Played With Fire, at number seven. James Wong's Grow Your Own Drugs rounds out the top three.
While it has only been on sale since the start of October, Terry Pratchett's Unseen Academicals sold enough copies to get it into Amazon.co.uk's top 10.
Amazon.co.uk also reveals the 10 most watched book videos, with Nigel Slater's Tender ahead of Dead Until Dark: A True Blood Novel by Charlaine Harris, the first in Harris' "TrueBlood" series.
