the library's decision prompted many residents to write letters opposing and supporting the library's decision; one such letter from sheila blahnik, the other patron who had asked the library to remove "women on top", called the reaction an "onslaught of media attention". area booksellers reported increased sales of the book soon after the library removed it; a waldenbooks manager said, "in two months the bookstore sold one copy, and all of a sudden last week we sold eight." one county resident called for pinder and another librarian to be fired for describing the reasons for the book's removal as "editing errors and changes in library purchasing guidelines" rather than stating that it was censored because of its sexual content; other residents began shouting questions which the board did not answer, and the police were summoned.
