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 March 2009
|
Dave Weber's Storm From the Shadows (Baen), his latest Honor Harrington novel, debuts substantially on three print lists this week, as high as #11 on Publishers Weekly's fiction hardcover list, #12 on the same list at New York Times, and #104 on the combined USA Today list.
Also debuting in hardcover is Anne Bishop's The Shadow Queen (Roc), 7th in her Black Jewels series, ranking #20 this week on the NYT list.
In paperback, the mass market reprint edition of Jim Butcher's Small Favor (Roc), 10th book in his Dresden Files series, is #12 on NYT's mass market paperback list, #13 on PW's. And paperback original Deathwish by Rob Thurman (also Roc) is #26 on NYT's list.
Oh, and Watchmen ranks #1 this week on the paperback lists of Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, and Publishers Weekly, and #2 at USA Today. (We would guess that it's ineligible, for some reason, at NYT.)
