"Five Drops of Estrogen" tops the August bestseller list at Sunbury Press

MECHANICSBURG, Pa. - Sept. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- "Five Drops of Estrogen: A man's tribute to womanhood and the undying power of humility, selflessness and sacrifice," Nirmal Joshi's book about the lives of five extraordinary women in his family,  was #1 thanks to author events.  Ernie Marshall's "That Night at Surigao," a recounting of life on a battleship in World War 2, ranked #2 due to author events and advance sales.

Sunbury's year-to-date sales for 2013 are up 17% over 2012.

The Joe's -- Farrell and Farley -- took the 8th spot with "Keystone Tombstones Civil War" thanks to interest in the Gettysburg 150th anniversary.
