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.
|
Two new hardcovers debut on print lists this week, beginning with Sherrilyn Kenyon's Born of Shadows (Grand Central), fifth book in her League series. It ranks as high as #6 on the New York Times and Publishers Weekly lists.
Next is Jack Campbell's Dreadnaught (Ace), first book in a new "Lost Fleet" series (and the first to appear in hardcover). It ranks #15 on the same two lists.
