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 20 February 2007

A paperback original by Sherrilyn Kenyon, The Dream-Hunter (St. Martin's Paperbacks), debuts at #2 and #3 on three lists this week -- New York Times', Washington Post's, and USA Today's. The next book in Garth Nix's "The Keys to the Kingdom" series, Lady Friday (HarperCollinsChildren'sBooks), appears today at #11 on Amazon UK's list, two weeks before its March 5th publication. The US edition from Scholastic, not yet seen, was due to be published in January. Joe Hill's Heart-Shaped Box (Morrow), cracks Amazon's list today, at #80. J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows remains #1 or #2 on the three Amazon lists this week.
