Nearly 30 years after its publication, this New York Times bestseller is owned by 4 of 46 LINKcat libraries

As reported in Sally Beauman, Author Whose Advance Set a Record, Dies at 71.  (The New York Times, 7/15/2016)

For 1 million buckaroos, Bantam Books got a relatively weak performer:  14 weeks on the New York Times fiction (friction?) bestseller list.

6, 6, 4, 4, 5, 8, 5, 6, 7, 7, 10, 13, 14, 16.

Disappointing.  Starts to fade after 4 weeks.

Her "eagerly awaited" follow-up, Dark Angel, was not a New York Times bestseller.
