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.
|
Stephen King's Under the Dome remains the highest ranking genre book this week, at #4 or above on four of the lists compiled here, but Jim Butcher's First Lord's Fury (Ace), latest in his Codex Alera series, debuts impressively on four lists, as high as #7 on the fiction hardcover lists at New York Times and Publishers Weekly.
