SFFH on Bestseller Lists: 22 July 2001
|
Everyone's redesigning their websites lately, it seems; BookSense, PW, New York Times, and Los Angeles Times have all made changes in the past couple weeks that affect the layout of or links to their bestseller pages. PW's is the most recent of these, and in the meantime they have so far neglected to update the content of their bestsellers pages this weekend. BookSense's web pages are also a week stale. (Update 24 July: both PW and BookSense are updated in the table below.)
Neil Gaiman's American Gods (Morrow) remains on 4 lists this week, while Brian Aldiss's Supertoys Last All Summer Long pops up at #15 on Amazon's paperback list this week.
The Times of London posts the top five selling children's paperbacks this week. All five slots are filled by Harry Potter titles (even Goblet of Fire has been released in paperback in the UK).

This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
Italics indicates stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before |
The table compiles SFFH books placing on general bestseller lists. The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week are shown, where:
= same as last week
+ or - with number: difference since last week
+ back on list
++ new on list
x no longer on list (number of x's: weeks off list)
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, BookSense, Amazon.com (fiction lists), and Amazon UK (fiction lists). All lists rank hardcovers and paperbacks separately, except for the USA Today list, which is a single list combining fiction and nonfiction in all formats.
Note that some sources do not compile paperback bestsellers, and some exclude YA books (like the Harry Potter series) from their hardcover and paperback fiction lists.
