Legion

Legion appears in How to make a BOOK into a bestseller as the William Peter Blatty sequel whose absence from the [[NewYorkTimesBestsellerList|New York Times bestseller list]] led to litigation. The source uses the case to show that bestseller ranking can affect rights value and future promotion even when the list is not a transparent raw-sales chart.

The book’s wiki role is narrow: it anchors the legal boundary around Bestseller List Opacity and the Times’s protected editorial judgment.
