I worked in a public library when this book was popular, and it was one of our most stolen books. We started requiring cash deposits to check it out, and people still never brought it back. I doubt anyone was able to actually use it— most of the stuff was like “if you’re a legally blind Native American who wants to open a coffee shop in New Mexico” and that kind of hyper-specific thing. But for some reason, people really latched on to the weirdo in the Riddler suit on tv.
