Abstract: This article informs that with sales of history hardbacks a crucial component of success at Christmas, all the signs are that the trade has been very well supplied this autumn. BookScan figures for the past six months see nostalgia as very much the order of the history day, despite the fact that the recent run of anniversaries has come to a close. "Forgotten Voices of the Second World War," by Max Arthur and "Our Hidden Lives: The Remarkable Diaries of Postwar Britain," from Simon Garfield are at numbers one and three respectively in the history bestseller list.
