It’s pretty sad to realize that although this interview is from 1979, people were already complaining about how the L’Amour titles use up half the space in the Westerns section. If anything, the situation is even worse these days. The section itself is smaller (if it exists at all) and the only other author you can find in large quantities is William Johnstone (whose success among readers is still an enigma to me).
This interview appeared in Paperback Quarterly, Volume 1, Number 2, Summer 1979. Part 2 will appear tomorrow.

I was struck by exactly the same thing.
At least the new William Johnstone books are being ghosted by some really good writers.
