As I posted in the Skeleton Crew section, I recently picked up a paperback edition of that anthology (a new copy, so King benefitted).
The reason I picked it up now is because I was in the mood to read some of those stories since it is the month of October (I had to replace a hardcover I no longer have).
This got me thinking -- does King's catalog, maybe the earlier anthologies in particular, receive a bump in sales during October? Does each month have a particular set of titles that sell more copies than other months? Perhaps October is the month for Night Shift, as an example, while June may favor Different Seasons because of "The Body" (which is certainly a story for summer). Perhaps July is a Thinner month since that is great beach reading?
And generally speaking, what are the top ten catalog books written by King? Anyone know, or have a source?
