SFFH on Bestseller Lists
28 July 2002
Neil Gaiman's Coraline (HarperCollins) debuts at #9 on the BookSense children's list, rises 2 to #6 on New York Times's children's list, and maintains its #6 rank on San Francisco Chronicle's general hardcover fiction list.
The Philip K. Dick UK movie tie-in Minority Report rises 1 to #8 on Amazon UK's hardcover fiction list.
Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident still ranks high on all the children's lists after 12 weeks, a remarkable run for the second volume of a series originally dismissed as a Harry Potter imitation.

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
Italics indicates stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before |
Key:
The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, 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, The Bookseller, 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. Dates shown are posted dates, except those in parentheses, which are dates compiled. New York Times posts its list one week in advance of print publication.
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.
