SFFH on Bestseller Lists
13 January 2002
Dean Koontz's One Door Away from Heaven (Bantam) rises on the lists it debuted on last week and appears on one more list this week. The paperback of Robert Jordan's Winter's Heart appears on two more lists, while the paperback of Anne McCaffrey's The Skies of Pern debuts this week on three lists.
On USA Today’s list, 10 of the top 11 titles — all but the #1 title — are by J.R.R. Tolkien or J.K. Rowling. Eleven of the 25 titles on Amazon's paperback list are by Tolkien (Rowling seems to be excluded from this list), including two new titles this week, the first and second Book of Lost Tales. At L.A. Times the one-volume paperback edition of the trilogy, which ranked #1 last week, has been replaced by the three individual titles, ranking this week at #2, #10, and #9.
Publishers Weekly's children's rankings have been updated for January.

| 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.
