Checked out The Cuckoo's Calling, noted it was only good for 7 days - no renewals - and was told it's a very popular book :) Mentioned I was

#27 on the list when I reserved it and the librarian said "I'm #230, I may have to buy it:("

Guess I jumped on it when the news first broke.

I checked out the ebook. I was ~60 on 20 copies. Then a couple weeks later they upped the copy count. Now there are ~400 waiting for ~150 copies. -- nm - psilotum Aug 27, 16:51
Heh, due to ST, maybe? (And wow, we have 19 holds on 18 copies.) -- nm - mara Aug 27, 16:34 4
- When I first looked for it I don't think we had more than a couple of copies in the whole county system. Do new authors generally get much - Meg Aug 27, 16:43 3
  - If they are well-reviewed in prominent sources, larger libraries buy a few copies. (Libraries probably buy new authors more than individuals.) -- nm - mara Aug 27, 16:57
  - it's not a new author. it's JK rowling. -- nm - amanda Aug 27, 16:52 1
    - But nobody knew that when it was first published. -- nm - Meg Aug 27, 16:54
