SFFH on Bestseller Lists
26 June 2000
As if in anticipation of Harry Potter #4 (actual title still secret), the first three books have crept up slightly on bestseller lists the past couple weeks, or re-appeared on lists they had dropped off of several weeks ago.
John Saul's Nightshade (Ballantine) is runner-up on a couple lists this week.
Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon trade paperback hasn't done particularly well on the lists so far, but its progress may be slow but steady. It's still creeping upward on the Amazon and Booksense lists.
For whatever reason, Michael Crichton's Timeline is a runner-up at #24 on Amazon's hardcover fiction list this week.

This cell color means the title is not eligible for this list; e.g. the paper does not have paperback list, or apparently does not include YA books on its general fiction lists |
|
|
This cell color means the data is stale; e.g., a children's bestseller list only updated once a month |
The table compiles SFFH books placing 15th or higher on general bestseller lists (30th or higher on the combined USA Today list).
The current rank of each book and the change since last week are shown, where:
= same as last week
+ or - with number: difference since last week
+ back on list
++ new on list
x no longer on list (number of x's: weeks off list)
() below cut-off but noted anyway
-- previously noted anyway but now nowhere in sight
Columns show ranks on lists from, respectively, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, London Times, Publishers Weekly, Amazon.com (fiction lists), and BookSense. 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. Some books are on separate general [nonfiction] lists (gen), children's lists (ch), trade paperback lists (tpb), or mass market paperback lists (mm), as indicated.
