SFFH on General Lists
25 August 2002
Tolkien titles move farther up the lists this week, with the mass market set of four books, The Hobbit plus the trilogy, ranking #1 on Amazon's paperback list. The Silmarillion reappears on Amazon's list, several titles reappear on Publishers Weekly's paperback list, and the trilogy by itself moves into the top 50 of USA Today's list.
After many months off the lists, the trade paperback of Stephen King's On Writing reappears on New York Times's nonfiction paperback list this week at #15.
The Bookseller website has been inaccessible this weekend, so the rankings shown below are from last week.
(Note: you can now bookmark this link, Locus Online Bestsellers, for automatic redirection to the latest week's chart.)

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
[Italics and brackets indicate stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before -- and do not contribute to the cumulative weeks on any list totals] |
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.
