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 17 July 2007

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows remains at #1 on the Amazon lists again this week, with its publication due this coming Saturday, July 21st.

Numerous editions of the earlier Harry Potter books rank this week on the various Amazon lists, due perhaps in part to the release of the 5th film in the series as much as the imminent release of the final book in the series.
