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.

With the announcement of its release date, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows now has entries at Amazon (US) and Amazon Canada which, along with Amazon UK, rank the book at #1 on bestseller lists this week with advance orders.

Patricia Briggs' Blood Bound, a February Ace mass-market paperback, remarkably ranks on all three Amazon lists this week, as high as #50 on Amazon Canada's list.
