Neil Gaiman's American Gods (Morrow) slips off two lists but debuts on two other lists, having yet to rank in Los Angeles or at Amazon. Otherwise SFFH presence on general bestseller lists is sparse. Terry Pratchett holds #2 in Britain; Stephen King's Dreamcatcher still ranks on a couple lists; Dean Koontz's Whispers is selling in paperback; and Tolkien's books rank on a few lists, in anticipation of the film whose trailer has started showing (before A.I., for instance) in the US. BookSense has not updated its lists this week. Note the shading used in the table below changes this week: rankings on children's lists are indicated by the mauve background color, while stale data is indicated by italics (except when the entire column is stale, indicated at the top, as this week's BookSense column).

This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists						Italics indicates stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before

The table compiles SFFH books placing on general bestseller lists. The table shows 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.

Note that some sources do not compile paperback bestsellers, and some exclude YA books (like the Harry Potter series) from their hardcover and paperback fiction lists.
