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 13 February 2007

Timothy Zahn's new Star Wars novel, Allegiance (Del Rey), debuts this week at #10 on New York Times' fiction hardcover list, #7 on the same list at Publishers Weekly. Patricia Briggs' Blood Bound (Ace) breaks onto NY Times' paperback fiction list this week at #13, #11 on the same list at PW, after a couple weeks on Amazon lists. Also debuting this week is Keri Arthur's Kissing Sin (Bantam Spectra), on lists from both NYT and USA Today. Added this week are rankings for Katherine Paterson's Bridge to Terabithia (HarperEntertainment), the movie tie-in edition of the 1977 book, on lists in recent weeks with the upcoming release of the film version, opening this coming Friday in the US. J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows remains #1 on all three Amazon lists this week.
