In their third month, All Tomorrow's Parties and Dune: House Atreides traded places again at the top of the hardcovers, and Cryptonomicon is back after a month away. There was no new runner-up. We had 82 nominees, just up from 80 last month.
Jordan's The Path of Daggers has more than twice the points of the #2 paperback. Elizabeth Moon had a significant showing for both hardcover and paperback, and so did Orson Scott Card, with the Ender's Game discount paperback selling along with Ender's Shadow. Nominees: 97, to last month's 113.
In trade paperbacks, there was nearly a tie for top place. New runner-up: The Keep of Fire by Mark Anthony (Bantam Spectra). We had 60 nominees, down from 70.
The latest ''Star Wars'' and ''Babylon 5'' dominated the media-related books. Nominees: 37, to 36 last month.
For gaming-related, ''Forgotten Realms'' did best. Nominees: 25, up from 20.
