Kathleen:
   When I worked at the San Francisco Public Library (over 13 years 
ago) I remember one book that was hard to keep on the shelves was:

Title : Improve your vision without glasses or contact 
lenses : the AVI program / Steven M. Beresford ... [et al.].

  Call Number :     617.7 Im77
  Publisher :        New York : Fireside, c1996.
  Subject Heading(s) : Visual training.
  Description :    127 p. : ill. ; 22 cm.
  Other Name :   Beresford, Steven M.
  ISBN :   0684814382 (pbk.) : $10.00

I just checked their catalog and noticed they have 13 copies - with 3 
alone in the main collection (the rest in branches) with 4 listed as 
"Borrowed" and one with a status of "Borrowed/AsmLost "
