    I am very amused to see a Nora Roberts book on that list, given that she is one of the most prolific romance writers around. Is there some reason that one of the hundreds of other Nora Roberts just wouldn't do?

    And here I thought the most searched for out of print book was my father's thesis, which he searched for at the library of every college I visited.

    Pretty sure I have 3 of the top 4 (the King ones in collections, not as standalones, plus not Nora Roberts). None of the bottom 96, though.

    I looked for that lace crocheting book for a year before I gave up!

    I guessed it was Sex before I opened the link! I'm sorry, I'm just so proud of my vast knowledge of [fill in the blank]. Not quite sure how to end that sentence.

    On a similar note, there's a Barbara Cartland novel on here too. She gave Roberts a run for her money on the prolific front. I'm assuming the searchers are completists.
