Many of the books I buy or borrow are old backlist or even previously out of print books. I was/am thrilled to be able to get unread books by my favorite authors. And many want to start a series at the first book if they can, which nowadays they often can.
And you might be surprised by the number of casual and avid readers who are reading A Game of Thrones. I believe this book fits the standard definition of backlist in that it was published first in 1996 but is still sold in bookstores.
