SFFH on General Lists

13 July 2003

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is #1 on every list charted below except for Washington Post's, which ignores it completely (with no children's list to relegate it to), and those at Publishers Weekly, which feels compelled to issue a note of explanation that the book will rank on the next monthly children's list... which hasn't been posted yet. New books charted this week include the US paperback edition of Jean Auel's The Shelters of Stone, on 4 lists; the trade paperback of Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, on 2 lists; and the latest Star Wars novel by Sean Williams and Shane Dix, Force Heretic III: Reunion, on 3 lists.

This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists		This cell color indicates rankings on pre-publication or 'not yet published' lists				[Italics and brackets, and/or this cell color, 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)

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, and BookScan, which combines hardcovers and paperbacks within lists for fiction, nonfiction, and children's. 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.
