| O.J. Simpson tops Clinton on best-sellers list

| "If I Did It," O.J. Simpson's hypothetical account of his ex-wife's slaying, has hit No. 2 on the New York Times best-sellers list for non-fiction, topping former U.S. President Bill Clinton's book "Giving."
The best-seller ranking for the week ending September 22, the Simpson book's first full week in stores, is due to run in the the Times on October 7 but was released on Thursday, more than a week early, by publisher Beaufort Books.
Friday's Times best-sellers list, covering the week ending September 15, puts "If I Did It" at No. 3, based on just the first two days of its sales.
The book was published September 14, the same day news first broke that Simpson, acquitted of double murder in 1995, had been questioned by police in connection with an alleged holdup in Las Vegas. He has since been charged with armed robbery, kidnapping and assault.
For the most recent week of the best-sellers list, Clinton's book about philanthropy fell to No. 3 from second place a week before. The latest No. 1 non-fiction book is "The Age of Turbulence" by former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.
The best-seller listings do not include any sales figures, but Beaufort, an independent New York-based publishing house, has already printed 200,000 copies and plans to print more next week, spokesman Michael Wright told Reuters.
That tally is already half the number of copies churned out by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.-owned HarperCollins in a previous printing scrapped last year amid a public outcry over the book and Simpson's reported $1 million publishing advance.
