Terry Brooks's High Druid of Shannara: Jarka Ruus (Del Rey), first of a new trilogy, is a runner-up on the New York Times list this week at #30.
Several upcoming titles show up on UK and Canadian lists this week. David and Leigh Eddings's fantasy The Elder Gods (UK: Voyager) has dropped off the Australian Dymocks list, but ranks this week on Amazon Canada's list at #62. Other titles on the Canadian Amazon list when checked on Tuesday 2 Sept are R.A. Salvatore's next Forgotten Realms novel, The Lone Drow (October from Wizards of the Coast) at #81, David Weber & Eric Flint's Crown of Slaves (September from Baen) at #59, and a mass market paperback of Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon at #54.
Also, curiously, the UK edition of Jude Fisher's The Two Towers Visual Companion, published last November according to Amazon UK,
shows up on UK BookScan's nonfiction list this week at #2.
Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's picture book The Wolves in the Walls (HarperCollins) debuts on BookSense's children's list this week; it's been on NYT's children's picture book list for 3 weeks now.

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
This cell color indicates rankings of books based on pre-publication sales |
[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.
