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.

posted 10 July 2007

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows rides the Amazon lists at #1 again this week, as it has for four or five months now, preceding its scheduled publication date of July 21st.

Much lower down, but still significantly, the next book by John Twelve Hawks, The Dark River (Doubleday), debuts on two Amazon lists this week.
