SFFH on Bestseller Lists
10 February 2002
Two Star Wars titles debut this week, a hardcover by Alan Dean Foster called Star Wars: The Approaching Storm (Del Rey), and in paperback, Elaine Cunningham's The New Jedi Order: Dark Journey (also Del Rey); each appears on three lists.
Publishers Weekly updates its children's lists this week for February. Brian Jacques' Taggerung finally drops off, but Pullman's The Golden Compass has returned to the list, perhaps inspired by his Whitbread Prize win in the UK.

| 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.
