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.
|
As expected, Stephen King's Under the Dome (Scribner) ranks #1 on print lists this week, at least on all of them except LA Times's, whose currency perhaps lags behind the others. The book is still #3 at both Amazon.com and Amazon Canada, though it trails significantly on the Amazon UK list at #33.
Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson's The Gathering Storm still ranks among the top 10 fiction hardcovers on four of the lists compiled here, as high as #4 on Publishers Weekly's list.
This page hasn't been always consistent about tracking different editions of titles; for some time Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse Boxed Set has been listed, along with the individual titles in that series, but only with this week's list is Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga Collection included. It ranks #2 this week at Amazon.com, #8 at Amazon Canada. It's much lower, #66, at Amazon UK, but there the paperback editions occupy positions #1 through #4 on the entire list.
