during the first six months of the year.

　　Popular TV dramas have increased the sales of the original books. In the Name of People，an anti­corruption novel，has become the most favored choice on Kindle's paid e­books and the eighth popular printed book in Amazon. The company has attributed the sales boom to the novel's super TV adaptation，and it went online in March. Statistics show the purchases of the book's e­version increased 24 times three months after its screening，and printed copies rose 12 times. Hong Kong author Isabel Nee Yeh­su's The First Half of My Life is another example. The recent TV adaptation of the novel caused a book buying craze in China. Purchases of the book's hard copies rose 600 times a week after the TV play was aired earlier this month.
