>(with good reason I might add)!!

least read, or read but not many sold?  If we took 'least read' as a
percentage of print runs actually read it might well turn out that _The
Order of Things_ is the least read.
   In any case I really liked _Death and the Labyrinth_: helped me
understand much more about the imaginary than I would have known otherwise.
Makes interesting bedtime reading for a daily diet of _Madness &
Civilization_.

best wishes/sincerely,
