SFFH on Bestseller Lists
10 April 2000
|
|
The US edition of Terry Pratchett’s The Fifth Elephant enters San Francisco Chronicles’ list in 9th place, and is a 30th place runner-up on the New York Times list.
Michael Crichton's Timeline shows remarkable tenacity on three lists (it’s back on at LA Times, after 3 weeks off), even after it’s fallen off other lists for weeks or months.
David Weber’s Ashes of Victory has been off all tracked lists for two weeks now, and has been deleted from the table.
The LA Times seems to have neglected to count Harry Potter sales this week, or they’ve changed their rules about counting them.
|
The table compiles SFFH books placing 15th or higher on general bestseller lists (30th or higher on the combined USA Today list).
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)
() below cut-off but noted anyway
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 (fiction lists), and BookSense. 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. Some books are on separate children's lists (ch), trade paperback lists (tpb), or mass market paperback lists (mm), as indicated.
