Spider Robinson and J.K. Rowling dominated the hardcover list, with Callahan's Key comfortably out in front of Harry. We had 80 nominees, compared to 93 last month.
Greg Bear dominated paperbacks, with Viehl and Zahn both making strong showings as runners-up. Nominees: 98, down from 119.
Stephenson's Cryptonomicon continues to hold the number one slot in trade paperbacks. Wit'ch War and The Year's Best Science Fiction #17 were both strong runners-up. The Sparrow reappears once again. Nominees: 52 to 53 last month.
In media, ''Star Wars'' took the top two positions, with the new Vector Prime out-selling the runner-up 3 to 2. Ruin, last month's number one, stayed on the list at number two, with X-Men not far behind. Nominees: 27, down slightly from 31.
For gaming-related, ''Forgotten Realms'' The Spine of the World had more than twice the votes as the next contender. Dragons of Autumn Twilight, the original 1984 novel, continues to make a showing, neck and neck with the series' new offering, The Clandestine Circle. Nominees: 25, up from 21.
