SFFH on General Lists
10 November 2002
The major debut this week is Anne Rice's latest Vampire Chronicles novel, Blackwood Farm (Knopf), debuting on 7 lists, ranking as high as #3 on two of them. The paperback reprint of Rice's Blood & Gold (Ballantine) also debut this week, on 3 lists.
Another paperback reprint debut is Dean Koontz's One Door Away from Heaven (Bantam), on 3 lists.
The four Harry Potter hardcovers that placed last week on the New York Times all fell off this week, perhaps pushed aside by the new Lemony Snicket novel and its predecessors. Los Angeles Times posted its irregular children's list this week, with entries for Gaiman, Jacques, Babbit, and one Rowling, while Barker's Abarat made a belated debut on LAT's regular fiction hardcover list.
The Amazon and Amazon UK lists have not been updated since last week.

| 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.
