Copies hung around my partners secondhand bookshop for years. This was in the 1980s. Properly shelved under "esoterica"
1st Ed. Now worth $6,000 oh well.

I have a 2nd edition. When I went on holiday in Italy in about ten years ago I noticed a copy for sale in a board game shop.
My local (but big city) library had a circulating copy until about five years ago. It mostly stayed in my home, once or twice a year someone else would request it and I'd give it back for a few months. It's in library use only now but I took great care of it lol.
The only book less likely to be sold was "voyage to Arcturus" which is the worst most depressing Sci fi fantasy ever. That, or future shock by Alvin toffler.
I've been in second hand bookshops that sprinkled their copies of The Da Vinci Code around the shelves so it wasn't so obvious how many they had.
(When I was a kid, Dennis Wheatley paperbacks were everywhere. Now I never see them. They were pretty cheap paper, maybe they literally fell apart).
