Due to adminstrative error and one miscategorization, the ranked sales figures for adult hardcover fiction and nonfiction and trade and mass market paperbacks that appeared in our March 22 issue require correction. Portions of information submitted by six publishers--Hachette (Grand Central and Little, Brown's Back Bay imprints), Random House (Anchor/Vintage), HarperCollins (some William Morrow titles), S&S (some Atria and Washington Square Press titles), Harlequin (trade paperbacks) and Kensington--were omitted. Below, you will find these titles properly placed into the full list. In addition, six YA titles by PC and Kristin Cast have been removed from our fiction hardcover list, as they were miscategorized as adult titles. [Please note that entries preceded by an asterisk are titles for which exact sales numbers were supplied to PW in confidence, for use in ranking the titles only.]
