<< People have been saying good things on the list
about THE AX. Obviously,
there's a big contingent of Westlake fans on this list.
However, how are
its sales out in the bookselling world? >>
My sense was that the book did pretty well. It certainly got
coverage beyond
the mystery reviews and even the book review. The Washington
Post did a big
Style section piece on the book and on Westlake, I think
(maybe it was the NY
Times).
I like blurbs that excerpt negative reviews. My reprint of
YOU PLAY THE
BLACK [etc.] has "A pretty slick job." on the back cover. The
sentence was
"...this book is a phoney, but it is a pretty slick
job."
