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 15 January 2008

Remarkable for a second week is Patricia Briggs' Iron Kised (Ace), which debuts this week at #1 on the New York Times fiction mass-market paperback list, climbs from #7 to #1 on the same Publishers Weekly list, and jumps from #79 to #14 on USA Today's combined list. Selling again on Amazon, where it ranks #8 today, is Brian Selznick's graphic novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which just won the Caldecott Medal for distinguished American picture book for children.
