Fascinating how widely it was distributed. I'll never forget walking into a Holiday gasoline station in a little midwest town in the wilderness and seeing, next to the check-out lanes, two shelving units loaded -only- with ZAMM paperbacks. With covers in multiple neon shades. Gobsmacked. It was a real phenomenon ... was it a different country? I imagine the publisher was equally surprised. (OTOH, just before it, Castaneda had sold multiple books in the millions. Again ... why?)
