SFFH on Bestseller Lists: 18 February 2001


Tim Powers's Declare (Morrow), perhaps as a result of a local signing tour by the Southern California-based writer, places #10 this week on the Los Angeles Times hardcover fiction list.

Michael Reaves's Star Wars novel Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter (Ballantine Del Rey/Lucasbooks) debuts on Amazon's hardcover fiction list this week.

PW's online lists have not been updated as of this posting. The table below shows last week's ranks.

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.
