SFFH on Bestseller Lists
6 January 2002


Dean Koontz's One Door Away from Heaven (Bantam) debuts on several hardcover lists, as high as #5 on PW's list; and the paperback reprint of Robert Jordan's Winter's Heart (Tor) debuts on several lists, has high as #11 on PW's list.
Tolkien continues to sell, with a couple volumes breaking onto trade paperback lists for the first time. The boxed hardcover set of the trilogy debuts on LAT's list at #11, and continues to rank #3 at Amazon. (However Amazon's lists do not appear to have been updated since last week.)

This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
Italics indicates stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before |
The table compiles SFFH books placing on general bestseller lists. The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week are shown, 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, London Times, 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.
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.
