Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys (Morrow) debuts strongly on print lists this week, topping out at #1 on the New York Times and Publishers Weekly hardcover fiction lists, ranking #2 at San Francisco Chronicle and #3 at Washington Post.
Two Serenity ties debut this week: Keith R.A. DeCandido's novelization (from Pocket Star) on USA Today's list, and a Visual Companion (Titan Books) that includes Whedon's script on two Amazon lists.
