SFFH on Bestseller Lists
2 June 2002
Jean Auel's The Shelters of Stone still dominates lists, ranking in the top 4 on every list compiled in the table.
Presumably with interest in Harry Potter renewed by the release of the first movie's video and DVD, sales have bounced back of the paperbacks, at least on USA Today's list. Each book rose 30 or more positions to now rank in the top 25 of the paper's combined fiction/nonfiction, hardcover/paperback list.
Debuting this week: the UK paperback of James Herbert's Once, on Amazon UK's list.

The table compiles SFFH books placing on general bestseller lists. The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week are shown, where:
= same as last week
+ or - with number: difference since last week
+ back on list
++ new on list
x no longer on list (number of x's: weeks off list)
Columns show ranks on lists from, respectively, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, London Times, Publishers Weekly, BookSense, Amazon.com (fiction lists), and Amazon UK (fiction lists). 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.
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.
