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.

SFFH Books on General Bestseller Lists
posted 26 August 2008
|
It slips a bit since last week, but Sherrilyn Kenyon's Acheron remains the highest ranking genre title overall on general bestseller lists this week, still ranking #3 on the fiction hardcover list at New York Times.
Also, Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn still ranks #1 or #2 on several lists, those that don't exclude it since it's YA.
Neal Stephenson's Anathem (Morrow), due in stores September 9th, is on two Amazon lists this week with pre-publication sales.
Debuts: Terry Brooks' Genesis of Shannara: The Gypsy Morph (Del Rey), published today, is on Amazon.com's list today at #46. And the paperback edition of John Scalzi's The Last Colony (Tor) is #33 this week on New York Times mass market paperback list.
