SFFH on General Lists
29 September 2002
Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson's Dune: The Butlerian Jihad (Tor) debuts on five lists, including top ten rankings at The New York Times and Publishers Weekly.
Michael Chabon's Summerland returns to San Francisco's list, and debuts at New York Times and BookSense -- though relegated to both of their children's lists. This week marks the disappearance of the hardcover edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire from NYT's children's chapter book list, after placing there for the past 115 weeks; the trade paperback edition has ranked #1 on the children's paperback list since its release 7 weeks ago. In the UK, Garth Nix's Sabriel ranks #6 on Bookseller's children's fiction chart.
At Amazon UK the bestseller lists have been reformatted to encourage purchases of titles at 50% off list prices, with the lists expanded but the ranks themselves omitted. Apparent rankings are indicated below, though positions past the traditional 10 on each list are indicated only in parentheses. Notable titles include Clive Barker's Abarat, debuting (it would seem) at #3, and Raymond Feist's Talon of the Silver Hawk debuting at #1.
(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.
