​Here's your weekly St. Louis bestseller list for the week ending January 8, 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.

Bob Reuter's got a band (Alley Ghost), a radio show (Bob's Scratchy Records on KDHX (88.1 FM)) and now a book of photos, Light Fuse and Run, that made its debut on the St. Louis bestseller list this week at number 6. This is Reuter's second book and features photos (from film! how amazingly retro of him) mostly of people and things in his South City stomping grounds.

Back on the list this week is The Light Bringer, a supernatural police thriller by two local cops, Chris DiGiuseppi and Mike Force; Amanda Doyle's super-guidebook Finally, A Locally Produced Guidebook to St. Louis by and for St. Louisans, Neighborhood by Neighborhood and Freedom, by super-famous former Webster Grovian Jonathan Franzen.
