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.
|
Joe Schreiber's Star Wars Death Troopers (LucasBooks), which debuted at #14 on last week's Publishers Weekly list, falls off that list this week but debuts at #20 on the extended NY Times fiction hardcover list.
No other significant debuts this week. Significant endurance records are underway by Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife, which in trade paperback has ranked on lists for nearly three years; Cormac McCarthy's The Road, almost that long in trade paperback; Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games and Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, both on lists for 57 weeks now in hardcover editions; Stephenie Meyer's Eclipse, on lists in hardcover for 117 weeks; and all the Charlaine Harris paperbacks, on lists now for 32 to 60 weeks.
