- o July 29, 1985PEOPLEIacocca
-
-
- It is popular, gets great mileage and goes from 0 to 60 in 341
- pages. Published last October, Iacocca was parked at No. 1 on
- the best- seller list for 36 weeks. Last week the 2 millionth
- copy came off the press, a feat bettered by only a few books,
- including Gone With the Wind and Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
- The author, who has not promoted the book and assigned most of
- its profits to charity, is still "awestruck" by the success.
- "I'm told America loves listening to me, but I love listening
- to America," says Iacocca, who receives about 500 letters a week
- and reads 100 of them a night. "I think the book just hit a
- responsive chord." Does that mean there will be a sequel? "No,
- I did one," he says. "That's enough."
