New editions by Anne McCaffrey top both hardcovers and paperbacks, with a substantial lead for both. As noted in the March Locus, Starship Titanic is actually based on a game, but almost everyone voted for it under hardcovers. New runner-up: Prince of Dogs by Kate Elliott (DAW). There were 85 nominees, down from 87.
Most of the paperbacks are newcomers. The new runner-up is The Pearls of Lutra by Brian Jacques (Ace). We had 107 nominees, up from 102.
King's Wizard and Glass stays atop the trade paperback list for a third month, still with a substantial lead, and we had no new titles. New runner-up was Shadows Over Lyra by Patricia C. Wrede (Tor). Nominees: 61, up from 51.
In media tie-ins, Babylon 5: In the Beginning moved to first place. New runner-up: Xena: Warrior Princess Official Guide to the Xenaverse by Robert Weisbrot (Doubleday). We had 31 nominees, down from 43.
The new DragonLance compendium tops the gaming-related books, but is almost tied with the latest Forgotten Realms. The one holdover tied for fourth place. There was no new runner-up. We had 27 nominees, the same as last month.
