"We stacked them in the reception area, around my secretary’s desk, in
the hallways, in my office. We couldn’t move but for all the copies of A TIME TO KILL. The boxes were everywhere, and I would
just give them away. If one of my clients wanted a book, I’d try to sell
it. If not, I’d give it away. I’d sell them for 10 bucks, 5 bucks. I
used them for doorstops. I couldn’t get rid of these books." --John Grisham, reminiscing about a time when 5,000 copies of his debut novel was a lot to sell.
