Sales of "To Kill a Mockingbird" up 123%

Sales of "To Kill a Mockingbird" up 123% on Amazon.UK, and the book has climbed as high as #25 on the site's Top 100 list (compared to #803 on Amazon.com) since David and Victoria Beckham said Harper Lee was the inspiration for their new daughter's name, the Daily Mail reported. 

Here's how the soccer legend and his former Spice Girl wife made their decision: "A lot of thought goes into our children's names and Harper was a name that we've loved for a long time for a couple of reasons," said David. "One reason is Harper's an old English name which we loved and one of the other reasons was Victoria's favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird and the author was Harper Lee. It's a very strong, passionate book. That's where Harper came from."
