SFFH on Bestseller Lists: 19 August 2001
|
A new Riftwar novel by Raymond E. Feist and William Forstchen, Honoured Enemy (Voyager), ranks in the top 10 of both UK lists this week; it debuted on the Times list last week at #10. Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time is #7 on both UK lists; after almost four full months, the London lists notes that 109,398 copies have sold to date.
Also new this week, Lois McMaster Bujold's The Curse of Chalion (Eos) debuts on Amazon's fiction list, as does Harry Turtledove's American Empire: Blood and Iron; the latter is on the NYT list for a second week.
PW has updated its children’s lists for August. As usual, they don’t include individual Harry Potter titles on their Children’s Fiction Books list (though they do the Quidditch and Fantastic Beasts titles), but lump them together on a separate Children’s Series list. This Series list, however, is no longer posted on the PW website, and so those indications are dropped from our chart from now on.

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.
