Albany-- For people that are spending money buying books, many of the best-sellers these days are war-related.

Almost half of the top selling reads at Books-a-Million are political.  Bush at War by Bob Woodward has been a hot pick for more than a month. But, it's not just books that people are looking for.

Store Manager Beth Naylor says, "The maps that's been a popular item, maps on Afganistan, what's going on that part of the world, good seller."

The Hunt for Bin Laden , by Robin Moore, is a favorite buy. Books on September 11th, the Jihad, as well as terrorism are flying off the shelves.
