Also I wonder just how a lot of the small businesses in cozy mysteries stay afloat when the owner is always out poking their nose into murders instead of actually running it.
Because their employees can work without any supervision, place orders and pay bills.

I have had my store for 34 years and can count on one hand the number of employees I could leave on their own and not have to stand over them. And have fingers left over.

I actually own this in paperback and in the original cover. (A First Edition in paperback. Not the hardback, unfortunately.) I found it at the BookRack about 40+ years ago.

I purchased (shame on me! ) the first edition softcover when it was first published and still have it in a box somewhere in the basement. As I vaguely remember, the main reason for purchasing it was that it was being banned by the Canadian government so as a university student, I had to buy it. I still wonder how many wannabe bombers managed to kill themselves by trying the bomb recipes.

The funniest—to me—memory was when a friend of mine pointed me to a review before the 2016 US presidential election where the reviewer claimed that Steal This Book gave amazing insight into the mind of an extreme left-wing, hate-filled socialist like Hillary (no last name given).

I bought the Salmon Rushdie book in hardcover on principle.
I only got a few pages in before I got bored though.
