SFFH on Bestseller Lists
26 May 2002
Douglas Adams's The Salmon of Doubt debuts on several more lists, including BookSense's, which has been updated after two weeks down.
Jean Auel's The Shelters of Stone is in the top 3 on every list in the table. Except possibly the Times of London's list; that paper's website now requires pay registration to view even some same-day pages, and Locus Online has not subscribed.
The paperback of Neil Gaiman's American Gods has also debuted at BookSense, #3 on its paperback fiction list, and has risen this week on three other lists, including to #21 on USA Today's overall list.

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
Italics indicates stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before |
The table compiles SFFH books placing on general bestseller lists. The table shows 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)
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, BookSense, Amazon.com (fiction lists), and Amazon UK (fiction lists). 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.
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.
