Champion Circulators

Last week we had to weed out a really beat up copy of A Trap for Fools by Amanda Cross. This book managed to circulate 117 times before being sent to book heaven... So we ran a little search to look for items with really amazing survival rates, and found that there are other books with even more circulations than the Amanda Cross book; and that no book measures up to the running-around activity of the videos and DVDs. Those really pile up the numbers.

Champion books:
Shy Charles / Rosemary Wells ; "E" is for evidence / Sue Grafton ; Death of a snob / M.C. Beaton ; and the grand champion book item, Horton hears a Who! By Dr. Seuss. Can there really be a copy of Horton Hears A Who with 176 circs and still alive?

For videos, the nearly-immortal bits of tape include
The Brothers Karamazov ; Catch-22 ; Joseph Campbell and the power of myth : with Bill Moyers ; In love and war ; Annie Hall ; To catch a thief ; and an audio tape of The long goodbye by Raymond Chandler.
