(HarperCollins), his latest Discworld novel, debuts strongly this week on all 5 [US] print lists compiled here, ranking at #7 or higher on the hardcover fiction lists of New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, and Publishers Weekly.
Cornelia Funke's Inkspell (The Chicken House), sequel to Inkheart, debuts on New York Times' children's chapter book list at #5.
