The perfect Memorial Day gift for your favorite vet!
​Here's your weekly St. Louis bestseller list for the week ending May 22, as compiled by the St. Louis Independent Booksellers Alliance and based on sales at Left Bank Books, Main Street Books, Pudd'nhead Books, Subterranean Books and Sue's News.

It's impossible to keep a Navy Seal down. After a brief absence from the bestseller list last week, St. Louisan Eric Greitens' memoir The Heart and the Fist returned at number two, just in time for Memorial Day.

Also just in time for Memorial Day, Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base by Annie Jacobsen made its debut on the bestseller list at number 7. Curiously, its jacket copy does not contain the phrase "little green men."

Full lists after the jump.
