SFFH on Bestseller Lists
31 January 2000
|
|
Brian Jacques's The Legend of Luke (Philomel) enters hardcover fiction bestseller lists at NY Times and SF Chronicle.
Dean Koontz's False Memory (Bantam) holds steady, maintaining its #1 slot at LA Times, and returning to the BookSense list.
BookSense has ranked all four current Harry Potter editions (three hardcovers and one paperback) in a tie for #1 on its children's bestsellers list, allowing a few other books onto a list which only goes to 5th place.
One of LaHaye and Jenkins's ''Left Behind'' books, Apollyon, has left Amazon.com's hardcover list for its paperback list.
Neither the Amazon.com nor the Amazon.co.uk SF genre bestseller list has been updated this week. Those columns are unchanged from last week's page.
The table compiles SFFH books placing 15th or higher on general bestseller lists (30th or higher on the combined USA Today list), and 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 the dates indicated.
