SFFH on General Lists
3 November 2002
All four Harry Potter novels appear on this week's New York Times children's bestseller lists, in both hardcover and in paperback. This only happened once before, the week that the US paperback of Goblet of Fire debuted (August 11).
Two debuts this week: Jude Fisher's The Two Towers Visual Companion (Houghton Mifflin), at #19 on Amazon's fiction list, even though it hasn't been published yet; and Karen Marie Moning's The Dark Highlander (Dell) on both the Amazon and NYT paperback fiction lists. (This chart sometimes overlooks genre hybrids like Moning's time-travel romance, and it deliberately omits literary novels, like Eco's Baudolino and Sebold's The Lovely Bones, that may have some genre interest.)

| 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.
