The paperback edition of Ron Chernow's 2004 biography about the country's first treasury secretary, the inspiration for Lin-Manuel Miranda's show, was No. 1 on Amazon.com as of midday Monday. A book about the show's creation, "Hamilton: The Revolution," was third on the best-seller list. The hardcover of Chernow's 800-page book was No. 14.

Ranking at No. 2 on Amazon was yet another book based on a stage production, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One & Two." The show, which J.K. Rowling has called a sequel to her seven Harry Potter novels, is currently in previews in London.
