Stephen King's Dreamcatcher remains in the top 10 of all lists this week, except Amazon's. Booksense has a special SF/fantasy bestseller list posted this week, based on a month of sales in independent bookstores across the US. The list is dominated by backlist titles: the first five spots are books by Tolkien and Card. The highest ranking new hardcover is by McCaffrey; new paperback, Greg Keyes. Though not officially published in May 1, Terry Pratchett’s Thief of Time is already at the top of Amazon UK’s Hot 100 list. PW's website does not yet have April 30 hardcover lists posted.

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)

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.
