SFFH on Bestseller Lists
17 March 2002
Kim Stanley Robinson's The Years of Rice and Salt (Bantam) places #23 this week on Amazon's hardcover fiction list; Amazon's lists have been updated for the first time in a month, and also include the debut ranking of Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's The Dark Knight Strikes Again Vol. 2 (DC Comics) at #22 on the paperback list.
Otherwise, rankings are sparse; even Tolkien volumes still rank on only a handful of lists, and three papers (LAT, SFC, and WP) have no genre titles at all this 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.
