SFFH on Bestseller Lists
25 November 2001
Terry Pratchett is #1 on both UK hardcover lists, and both UK paperback lists, compiled this week, with The Last Hero on the former, and The Truth on the latter.
Interesting though hardly surprising is the upsurge of Harry Potter sales. The books are reappearing, in both hardcover and paperback, on lists--like the Los Angeles Times's--we'd thought had banished the titles for their YA status, not because of declining sales.

| 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.
