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 22 May 2007

The latest novel by World Fantasy Award winner Haruki Murakami, After Dark (Knopf), debuts on two print lists this week, as high as #3 at San Francisco Chronicle. Another literary novel with possible genre elements, Chuck Palahniuk's Rant (Doubleday), is included belatedly on this week's chart after debuting on lists a week or two ago. It ranks as high as #7 on three of the print lists this week. J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, to be published in July, remains #1 on the three Amazon lists this week.
