SFFH on Bestseller Lists: 24 June 2001
|
Except for Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time in the UK, and J.K. Rowling's paperbacks, no SFFH books have been prominent among general bestsellers for several weeks now. Even hardcovers by Stephen King and Rowling still appear on only a few lists.
New this week: a reissue paperback edition of Dean Koontz's Whispers appears on three lists.
Though not exactly SFF or H, "Lemony Snicket"'s morbid A Series of Unfortunate Events volumes occupy no less than 5 spots on the NYT children's chapter list this week. Snicket, aka Daniel Handler, is on the cover of the June 18 Publishers Weekly, and he's on Entertainment Weekly's "It" List for June 29/July 6.

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)
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.
