KEY

The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, where:

= same as last week

+/- change since last week

+ back on list

++ new on list

x no longer on list (number of x's: weeks off list)

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.

SFFH Books on General Bestseller Lists

posted 3 June 2008

Dean Koontz' Odd Hours (Bantam) debuts at #1 on two print lists this week, New York Times' and Publishers Weekly's, and at #3 on USA Today's, though it hasn't ranked at all yet on the other two print lists, from San Francisco and Washington DC. Stephenie Meyer's The Host is holding strong, at #2 on three print lists this week. And Cory Doctorow's Little Brother ranks #9 for the third week in a row on the New York Times children's chapter book list.
