The paperback reprint of Stephen King's collection Everything's Eventual (Pocket Books) debuts on four lists this week. Dean Koontz's By the Light of the Moon (Bantam) appears on three more lists.
Robert Jordan's Crossroads of Twilight (Tor), in US and UK stores only since Tuesday, squeaks onto NYT's runner-up fiction list at #32, and has ranked enough sales in the UK to place on Bookscan's chart both this week and last.
Also, Ray Bradbury's Let's All Kill Constance (William Morrow) ranks #14 on the author's hometown LA Times list.
More Tolkien editions appear on lists this week, with some titles showing up in multiple formats; the table below now indicates which paperback rankings are for trade [tpb] editions. The Silmarillion ranks #1 on Amazon's paperback list in the mass-market edition, #17 in trade.
All lists are updated this week.

| This cell color indicates rankings on children's bestsellers lists |
[Italics and brackets, and/or this cell color, indicate stale data -- rankings from one or more weeks before -- and do not contribute to the cumulative weeks on any list totals] |
Key:
The table shows the current rank of each book and the change since last week, 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)
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, and BookScan, which combines hardcovers and paperbacks within lists for fiction, nonfiction, and children's. 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.
