David and Leigh Edding’s The Redemption of Althalus is #1 in Britain (not counting Harry Potter) for the fifth consecutive week. The not-yet-published rankings from Amazon UK are particularly volatile this week. George R.R. Martin's A Storm of Swords, once listed for publication on 17 July, has been pushed back to 21 August and remains on the NYP list, with the hardcover edition in 1st place. Stephen King's Hearts in Atlantis paperback debuts on three lists this week, including the Times of London's list at #2. Robert J. Sawyer's Calculating God (Tor) is, for the third consecutive week, on the Maclean's bestseller list (for August 14), at #10.

   = 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
   -- previously noted anyway but now nowhere in sight
   nyp Not-yet-published (pre-ordered)

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 Amazon UK (fiction lists). 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 general [nonfiction] lists (gen), children's lists (ch), trade paperback lists (tpb), or mass market paperback lists (mm), as indicated.
