SFFH on Bestseller Lists: 9 September 2001


Two paperback debuts this week: Stephen King's Hearts in Atlantis (Pocket), and Brian Herbert & Kevin Anderson's Dune: House Harkonnen (Bantam).

Meanwhile, King's Dreamcatcher has dropped off all lists but one, the NYT's, where it remains last on the runner-up list. Neil Gaiman's American Gods remains on a single list, San Francisco's.

Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time is #7 on both UK lists.

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.
