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.

Alan Dean Foster's Star Trek (Pocket), his novelization of the current film, debuts on trade paperback lists this week at both New York Times and Publishers Weekly, ranking #15 on each list. It's #80 on the combined USA Today list.
Pride and Prejudice with Zombies, by Jane Austen & Seth Grahame-Smith after 11 weeks is still among the top 10 on four of the five print lists compiled here. Last week we noted that Washington Post lists it on its nonfiction list; it might also be noted that Publishers Weekly continues to list the author of the book as "Jane Austin".
Stephenie Meyer occupies four of the top five slots on Amazon UK's list today.
