In contrast to just a few weeks ago, general bestseller lists are busy with genre titles, including three new titles this week: Ray Bradbury's From the Dust Returned, on NY and LA lists; Mercedes Lackey's Take a Thief, on the NY list, and Dean Koontz's book of poetry The Paper Doorway, at #5 on the LA list. Laurell K. Hamilton's Narcissus in Chains appears on three new lists this week, after debuting last week on one list. Herbert & Anderson's Dune: House Corrino cracks the Washington Post list this week, and King & Straub's Black House finally debuts on Amazon's list. Tolkien sets continue to sell well through Amazon, in all formats; this week the hardcover trilogy ranks #19 on the Amazon hardcover fiction list, with the trade paperback and mass market paperback sets at #3 and #4 on the paperback list respectfully.

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.
