Robert Jordan's Winter's Heart (Tor) debuted on the LAT and WP lists this week and slipped a bit on other lists, for an average rank of 6.2 across 9 lists. (Note that updates to the Times of London and Amazon lists were not available this week. Ranks below from those lists are last week's.) Tim LeHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins's The Mark also debuted this week at LAT, for a current average of 4.2 across 6 lists. Philip Pullman's The Amber Spyglass remains high on 3 lists, averaging 5.3, though the book never appeared on some lists at all, including those at LAT, WP, and London. Anne Rice's Merrick still ranks on 7 lists, in positions ranging from #1 to #33. (The averages are suggestive, not mathematically valid, since different lists have different criteria for inclusion and can't really be directly compared.)

The table compiles SFFH books placing 15^th or higher on general bestseller lists (30^th 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
   -- 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, BookSense, 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.
