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 23 October 2007

Stephen R. Donaldson's Fatal Revenant (Putnam) debuts on print lists this week, as high as #12 on the fiction hardcover lists of New York Times and Publishers Weekly. Added to this page a bit belatedly, Junot Diaz' associational novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (Riverhead) ranks this week on the fiction hardcover lists of New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle. Gary K. Wolfe's review will run in Locus Magazine in December. Amazon has advance sales for Laurell K. Hamilton's next Meredith Gentry novel, A Lick of Frost (Ballantine), due to be published today.
