Tower report copies selling well
By JOHN BUZBEE
Staff writer
The Tower Commission's report is selling as fast as romance novels at some area bookstores, sales clerks said yesterday.
It is definitely a hot title, said Kaitlyn McNair, the town Crier in Tampa's Gage Center.
The 550-page paperback report, from the commission headed by former U.S. Sen. John Tower, a Texas Republican, criticizes the Rea-army's plan to buy its sale of arms to Iran to gain the release of U.S. hostages in Lebanon.
The report, issued Feb. 26, was distributed in this area through Palmer News in Topeka. The reports sell
for $5.50 at retail stores.
"It is unusual for us to rush it on that fast," said Mona Raglow of Palmer News, which sold its first 300 stores to stores, and ordered 500 more.
The Town Crier at Gage Center has sold about 10 of the 50 reports it received Wednesday. That's about 20 for best-selling books, McCoy said.
The Town Crier. 930 Massachusetts St., in Lawrence has sold 20 of its 24 copies.
"A big-name title would sell about as quick," said Shawn Allford, a clerk at the local theater.
Alford said about 400,000 copies of the report were printed for distributi-
tion around the United States.
"People surprise me all the time," she said.
Dottie Gaston, manager at The Town Crier, 711 W. 23rd St., in Lawrence, said the report looked interesting, although she had sold only four. She had expected to sell more, she said.
As of yesterday afternoon, The Town Crier in Topeka's White Lakes Mall had sold five of the 50 copies it received Wednesday night.
