KEY

The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, where:

= same as last week

+/- change 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. 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.

SFFH Books on General Bestseller Lists

posted 21 March 2006

Laurell K. Hamilton's Micah remains high on a couple lists, but has quickly dropped off a couple others, including Amazon's Top 100 as of today. The mass market paperback of Orson Scott Card's Shadow of the Giant (Tor) ranks #73 on USA Today's list this week. It's the one debut on this week's chart. Correction: the UK edition of Trudi Canavan's Priestess of the White (Orbit) is a hardcover, not a paperback as indicated the past several weeks. It's shown below in the proper sorting, though its ranking has dropped to #109, just below the posted cut-off of Amazon UK's list.
