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 3 March 2009
Dan Simmons' Drood remains at #18 on NY Times' fiction hardcover list for a second week, and rises a few notches on the lists at USA Today and Publishers Weekly.
Patricia Briggs' Bone Crossed drops to #12 on the NYT list, and drops on the USAT and PW lists, though it still ranks above Simmons on all three.
And Neil Gaiman retains #1 slots on the NYT children's chapter book and paperback lists, with The Graveyard Book and Coraline.
