Both Stephen King & Peter Straub's Black House (Random House; HarperCollins in the UK) and Terry Brooks's The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Antrax (Del Rey) remain strong this week. King/Straub debuts on two more lists, lacking only Amazon's, though it drops off the San Francisco Chronicle list -- but that list might be garbled this week, with three different titles indicated as ranking #1 last week. Brooks drops off the two UK lists, and ranks on one more US list this week. PW has the September (not October) 1st Children's lists posted on its site. The US trade paperback of Azkaban is #2 on the overall USA Today list, and #1 on children's lists at NYT and BookSense.

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.
