SFFH on Bestseller Lists: 2 September 2001
|
Elizabeth Haydon's Destiny (Tor) places #20 among Amazon's fiction hardcover bestsellers this week, and a new Star Wars book by Jude Watson appears on the New York Times children's list.
Except for Terry Pratchett in the UK, and Harry Potter books on a few (mostly children's) lists, general bestseller lists remain very dry of SFFH, with books by King and Gaiman remaining on only one list each.
Look for Stephen King and Peter Straub's Black House (Random House), which has an on-sale date of September 15 in both the US and UK, to dominate lists by the end of the month.

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.
