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.

Several new books debut modestly on lists this week, beginning with Eoin Colfer's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy sequel And Another Thing... (Hyperion), ranking in 20th spot on New York Times fiction hardcover list, 123rd on the combined USA Today list.
Next is a new Dracula sequel by an heir of Bram Stoker's, Dracula The Un-Dead (Dutton) by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt, #23 and #144 on the NYT and USAT lists respectively.
Jonathan Lethem's Chronic City (Doubleday) just makes it onto the extended NYT list, at #35.
A new Star Wars novel by Joe Schreiber, Death Troopers (LucasBooks), misses the NYT list but ranks 82nd at USAT and 14th on Publishers Weekly's fiction hardcover list.
Just published today is Brandon Sanderson's completion of Robert Jordan's last "Wheel of Time" novel, The Gathering Storm (Tor), so it's not yet on print bestsellers lists, but when we checked today it ranked #5 at Amazon.com, #3 at Amazon Canada, and #10 at Amazon UK.
