Liriodendron has just left Hobbiton.

When I said sells/doesn't sell, I was implying that LoTRs has sold better, and better (and better) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] over a goodly length of time. This is not just "popularity". That nonstop, growing momemtum, over several decades, is the "flying colors". A book, not expected to do well, (From Squatter's post) that gradually gains fans nonetheless, over the years, to become enormously popular....this speaks to me. Correct or uncorrect....if millions of people like something, I am impressed. I do not disregard popularity. People are smarter than that! (IMO)
