SFFH on Bestseller Lists
16 December 2001
Not much change this week. Orson Scott Card's Shadow of the Hegemon (Tor), which debuted on one paperback list last week, appears on two more this week.
In lieu of the usual fiction/nonfiction lists, the Times of London (at least on its website) has feature lists of bestselling manuals and children's books. The latter include Terry Pratchett's The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents at #3 among hardcovers, and Harry Potter books occupying the first five paperback slots.
Individual titles from Tolkien's trilogy appear on Amazon UK's paperback list for the first time this week.

| 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.
