SFFH on Bestseller Lists
17 January 2000
|
|
Dean Koontz's False Memory (Bantam), has entered the NYT and Amazon.com lists, but dropped out of USA Today's top 15.
The Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk SF lists do not seem to have been updated in the past week. And the webpage formatting of the SF Chronicle list suggests that Harry Potter book #1, rather than dropping off the list, was inadvertantly omitted.
The table compiles SFFH books placing 15th or higher on general bestseller lists, 10th or higher on SF genre lists (last three columns).
The current rank of each book and the change since last week are shown, where:
= same as last week
+ or - with number: difference since last week
+ back on list
++ new on list
x no longer on list (number of x's: weeks off list)
|
Columns show ranks on lists from, respectively, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, London Times, Publishers Weekly, Amazon.com (general lists), and BookSense; then SF lists from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Barnesandnoble.com.
All the general lists rank hardcovers and paperbacks separately, except for (*) the USA Today list, which is a single list combining fiction and nonfiction in all formats. Some books are on separate children's lists (ch), trade paperback lists (tpb), or mass market paperback lists (mm), as indicated.
The SF genre lists (last three columns) rank hardcovers and paperbacks together. These lists are undated, but were compiled on January 17. Only the top 10 titles (of 25) are compiled from Amazon's list.
