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.
|
The Gathering Storm, Brandon Sanderon's completion of Robert Jordan's final Wheel of Time novel (actually, the first three volumes; from Tor), debuts strongly on print lists this week, ranking #1 (ahead of Dan Brown!) on the New York Times and Publishers Weekly fiction hardcover lists, #2 on the Washington Post list, and #4 on the combined USA Today list.
Stephen King's Under the Dome (Scribner) went on sale today and is still lodged in the #1 position today on Amazon.com (though the pre-sale price of $9 has expired); look for it on print lists in the next week or two.
Paperback original debuts this week include a new Star Wars novel by Karen Traviss, Star Wars 501st: An Imperial Commando Novel (LucasBooks), and Keri Arthur's Bound to Shadows (Dell), 8th book in her Riley Jensen vampire series.
San Francisco Chronicle has apparently dropped their own weekly bestseller list; this past will be updated next week to remove the column, perhaps replacing it with the Los Angeles Times list.
