[net.books] THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER by Tom Cla

mcdaniel@uiucdcsb.CS.UIUC.EDU (01/20/86)

Clancy works at the Naval Institute Press (?I think).  When he wrote his
Great American Novel, he took it to his bosses and they said, in effect,
"why not publish it?".  In hardback, "Red October" had the greatest sales
of any work ever published by NIP, the previous best seller being
"Thermoclines of the North Atlantic".

From the back of the book: "Tom Clancy is an insurance broker from a
small town in Maryland."
