SFFH on General Lists
22 September 2002
The greatest gains this week were made by Terry Brooks's The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Morgawr (Del Rey), debuting on three more lists, to rank in the top 10 on 7 lists so far. (The BookSense annotation for this title is "Easy for you to say.")
Belatedly added to the chart this week is a YA novel by Cornelia Funke, The Thief Lord (Scholastic, translated from the German), which debuted on the NYT four weeks ago; an essay by Moira Remond in Slate commends the book as more than just another Harry Potter opportunist: "Harry Potter features real magic; The Thief Lord is more like magic realism for kids."
In the UK, Raymond E. Feist's new fantasy novel Talon of the Silver Hawk ranks #10 on the Bookseller fiction list.

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
[Italics and brackets indicate stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before -- and do not contribute to the cumulative weeks on any list totals] |
Key:
The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, 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, The Bookseller, 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. Dates shown are posted dates, except those in parentheses, which are dates compiled. New York Times posts its list one week in advance of print publication.
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.
