Yes, people will buy anything. LOL But this classification of weirdness usually sells better on the Bay for me.
I always like to tell people that fitness/diet/self-help type books sell well in January, but I gotta admit, this one takes the cake!
I cannot find a recent book sale.
But I ended the year with a magazine

Yes – a renewal of interest in anything Dylan-related. Sold a copy of Positively 4th Street: The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Fariña and Richard Fariña that I’d had listed for a couple of years.
I sold Chronicles Vol 1 by Bob Dylan a few days ago. Going to have to check the inventory for Dylan-related titles.
