SFFH on Bestseller Lists
9 December 2001
One hardcover debuts this week, Walter Mosley's Futureland (Warner), at #14 on the LA Times list.
Several paperbacks debut, most strongly the reprint of Stephen King's Dreamcatcher, placing on four lists. Orson Scott Card's Shadow of the Hegemon (Tor) is a runner-up on the extended NYT list, as is a Star Wars novel by Michael Reaves. A YA Star Wars novel by Jude Watson is on the NYT children's paperback list, as is a nonfiction "Harry Potter" guide, The Sorcerer's Companion, by Allan Zola Kronzek and Elizabeth Kronzek.
Not only is The Lord of the Rings selling in various editions, with various covers, by itself and in combination with The Hobbit, but each of the individual titles in the trilogy now rank on at least one list each.

| 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.
