SFFH on Bestseller Lists: 21 January 2001


Orson Scott Card's Shadow of the Hegemon (Tor) debuts on one more list this week, #1 at LAT, and remains on four other lists..

Dean Koontz's From the Corner of His Eye remains at #1 on two lists, debuts #2 at WP and #12 at SFC, and remains on three other lists..

Robert Jordan's Winter's Heart debuts #9 on the Amazon UK fiction hardcover list.

The paperback of Thomas Harris's Hannibal pops back onto three lists this week, presumably due to publicity for the upcoming feature film.

Amazon.com's lists have not been updated since last week, and as of this posting the Times of London list is inaccessible.

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
   -- 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.
