There is no simple answer to this question, unless somebody out there has been keeping track of actual record setting sales of romance books, and knows for sure. (Anyone...?) Otherwise, the answer may require some research into auction archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksneatstuff Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) If this book is classified romance (crime?) then it would have a couple of the top spots. This is an old copy of mine- apologies to the person I sold it too. Edited May 31, 2017 by Ricksneatstuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else about the background, the perspective is spot on. (Maybe forced, just a bit- for effect. But we don't mind that!) I had an artist friend of mine say the perspective was all off, the door to the left, the pictures on the wall. It may well be, but it all works.

CGC... The last time I saw this issue for auction, even the seller didn't note that. Probably would have seen a lot more bidding if they had.

29dukedog Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I've flipped a couple of these, just like that; buying low because the sellers didn't know, and auctioning to the crowd that did. I don't even have a copy myself, at the moment. They're too lucrative to hang on to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it gets the love it deserves from me, at least. Looks like the house from psycho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
