SF/F/H on General Bestseller Lists
10 January 2000

 
Dean Koontz's False Memory (Bantam), which went on the sale the last week of December, enters several lists, placing #1 at LAT and PW.

The table compiles SF/F/H books placing 15th or higher on general bestseller lists, 10th or higher on SF genre lists (last three columns). The current rank of each book and the change since last week are shown, where:
   = same as last week
   + or - difference since last week
   ++ new on list [or new within the top 15 or 10]
   x no longer on list [or no longer in the top 15 or 10]

Columns show ranks on lists from, respectively, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, London Times, Publishers Weekly, Amazon.com (general lists), and BookSense; then SF lists from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Barnesandnoble.com.

All the general lists rank hardcovers and paperbacks separately, except for (*) the USA Today list, which is a single list combining fiction and nonfiction in all formats. Some books are on separate children's lists (ch), trade paperback lists (tpb), or mass market paperback lists (mm), as indicated.

The SF genre lists (last three columns) rank hardcovers and paperbacks together. These lists are undated, but were compiled on January 10. Only the top 10 titles (of 25) are compiled from Amazon's list.
