Sales of her books did drop off a lot in the last years of her life, but that was compared with the very high sales in their heyday in the 70s and 80s. Could never see the attraction of them myself (couldn't hack the breathy... sighing... of the... heroines, who always seemed to be very constrained by their corsets, or else must have had serious lung disorders!). They're still in print, though, and even available as ebooks!
